PO: Failure - 1992-1996 5LP Box Set
firefoxUSSR replied to eight1echo's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Same same. I was concerned that both discs for Magnified are warped but my turntable didn't protest. I was really pleased and didn't realize / forgot that Magnified is on 2 LPs, which suits it well. I do really appreciate the Comfort remix, sounds better without getting too Special Editions about it. -

PO: Failure - 1992-1996 5LP Box Set
firefoxUSSR replied to eight1echo's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I just got the files less than an hour ago, initial impression... Magnified is greatly improved in mix and sounds better, more lush and textured... listening to "Wonderful Life" atm... which is my personal favorite on the album. Curious why they didn't send out 24bit files, the download is 16bit. -
PO: Dredg - Catch Without Arms Repress
firefoxUSSR replied to Justinadamk's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
glad i sold my copy. it was well made given it was made from the vanilla CD audio. but I don't miss it. I'd like to hear a proper remaster. Still love my El Cielo SACD, such beauty. I'd be up for a repress of Pariah too, that pressing was excellent. -
PO NOW: Filter- Title Of Record
firefoxUSSR replied to NorrisNuts's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Yep.. sucks. I just am listening to the end of side B... pretty bad on "I will lead you". It could be static build up too, the sleeves the discs come in cause static. I'll put my discs in MFSL sleeves to de-static them a bit, and replay later. -
PO NOW: Filter- Title Of Record
firefoxUSSR replied to NorrisNuts's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Can confirm, I'm part way into side B now, most excellent pressing. This was an instabuy for me, but that didn't necessarily mean it'd be a good pressing! I'm very pleased they included "Can't you trip Like I do", I was balking on buying Spawn the album for that song and "Long Hard Road out of Hell". -
PO NOW: Silverchair - Frogstomp

What if someone started selling said 24 bit audio directly? 😍 -
PO NOW: Filter- Title Of Record
firefoxUSSR replied to NorrisNuts's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Title of Record has been a most wanted by me on vinyl for a while. Right up there with Worship and Tribute in terms of irony of not being issued on vinyl at initial release. 1999 twenty year anniversary is great for my high school music nostalgia. I'm hoping for a reissue of Chevelle's Point #1 and Fiona Apple's When the pawn hits conflicts... as they both turn 20 this year. I agree with you @NoSeatbeltSong , this is the superior record. I used to own Short Bus but think I resold it. And the Amalgamut is quite dynamically compressed, it would sound great with a good remaster. I've recently grown fond of their 2010 record too, been considering picking it up. -
Finch - What It Is To Burn X Live repress
firefoxUSSR replied to meatrocket8's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I owned the repress and the mastering is the same loudness war garbage as the CD. I own a 2002 pressing from DTR too, and it it far more dynamic and an okay pressing. Unfortunate the title track is not included, I really love the demo version of that track. -
Finch - What It Is To Burn X Live repress
firefoxUSSR replied to meatrocket8's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Honestly, we just need the unreleased demos in proper form. Phantasma and World of Violence are incredible. -
I wanted to see them last month in their sole Florida date but have been caught up in the paralytic flow of commercial pilot certification. Perhaps I'll get a standard vinyl when this blows over. I find myself coming back to at least six tracks on the album. I don't care for the segues on this one at all... SKIP.

Third Eye Blind Out of Vein Rerelease

Horny and burnt out now. That's the lyric I still remember. I'm sure there's more. -
Worship and Tribute packaging
firefoxUSSR replied to kpumaorn's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I think the Music On Vinyl pressing is equally good. I have both. And yes, I put my WB pressings in a MFSL sleeve when I first got it. Sold my white copy cuz yuck. -
Cake Vinyl Boxset Coming Soon per RSD 7" sleeve
firefoxUSSR replied to oojavaguru's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I think some of the discs had defects in the pressing but the sound quality is good-to-great. I didn't have any of those issues, mine was the second round. My turntable is a ProJect Essential II Digital with the stock cartridge (Ortofon OM-5E). I just archive my stuff in 24-bit digital cuz you know... dynamic range matters and I don't like wearing down my records. -

Hum - Downward is Heavenward Reissue
firefoxUSSR replied to highfives's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Great job on mastering/mastering source. I've never even heard anything but the CD/HDCD and this pressing has given me a real appreciation for the album. Full disclosure I never really liked this one compared to Astronaut / Electra ... but now I do. Dynamic range is important. -
Far - Water & Solutions: What Happened
firefoxUSSR replied to throwgncpr's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Just got my copy in the indyasfuc diy cardboard sleeve, very nice. The vinyl is better sounding to my ears than the SRC press. Good job guys. @jonahmatrangadotco I like the USB too, are any of the songs available in native lossless/wav/FLAC? The mp3s are done well, but you know... every bit and byte counts.- 70 replies

Hum - Downward is Heavenward Reissue
firefoxUSSR replied to highfives's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Digital isn't bad folks. Overbearing dynamic range compression on the other hand sucks the life out of the recording. The reason you probably love AAA is it cannot be dynamically compressed in the same way.
