Thanks for the responses. The feedback on Steve Hoffman seems to suggest a number of my components together add up to quite a quite bright sound, which may be the cause. The Marantz certainly looks worth trying.

I seem to be experiencing listening fatigue with my system... i don't play my records too loud, but even at a modest volume, after an album or so, they don't seem to be too pleasing to the ears/easy to listen to. It seems to be on mulitple albums, not just one or two - and albums that are well mastered/pressed. I wondered if it's a component, or combination of components in my set up. My set up is: Pro-ject P1.2 w/ Ortofon 2M Blue -> Pro-ject Phono Box -> Rotel A10 -> Q Acoustics 3050's. My suspicion is that it's the Rotel (or it's paring with the 2M Blue), and wondered if anyone has any experience with the A10. Perhaps it's a bit harsh or overly detailed/analytical sound? I have been considering trying a Marantz (PM5005 or PM6006) which seem to be reviewed as having a slightly warmer sound? Thoughts?

Sold out!

I was also expecting a Misfits thread

Correct.

Agreed.

This.

I saw TheFutureEmbrace tour at the Avalon in Boston, in 2005. Listening to these songs took me right back there.

That has a Future Embrace vibe to it

Looks like both have sold out now

I can't find it off hand now either sorry. It is essentially how it was recorded, all instruments together, low budget and how impressive it is that it sounds so tight and solid. I orignally found the story about it on Reddit, but that was years back. This book and archival 7" look intersting: https://hozacrecords.com/product/idfi7/

Ahh, yes, im in Auckland at present.

I'm listening to it on youtube now, official deftones channel:

Backing this, the site url is https://www.deftones.com/0925 - further suggesting Sept. 25 may be the release date.

Haven't purchased anything so quickly. The original 7" records have been on my discogs want list for years. Got one of each. The back story to the recording of this EP is cool, google it.

New single, new video, pre-order date, release date? plus one other?

https://www.smashingpumpkins.com Are we going to start making guesses on what is happening when each of these countdowns get to zero? There are are a few people on reddit who “guarantee” one of them is the Machina release.

Is album artwork is going to be the same for all variants...

I have an OP 2xLP and can confirm, it sounds great.

I'm jumping on this bandwagon.

Looks like this is getting closer...

At some point in the next few years, I’m going to have to transport my collection from New Zealand to the states. I haven’t wrapped my head around how I’m going to safely do that without ending up with a whole lot or warped or damaged records.

This.

Thanks! To be fair, I really have no idea what I'm talking about. But I really enjoyed the album on Youtube and think it will be a ripper if it's well mastered and well pressed on vinyl.
