Badmotorfinger pressing info
kannibal replied to burntwolf's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
At the end of the matrix numbers in the deadwax it has the numbers 320. Im not an expert on it, but there were a series of masters done in germany of some famous 90's stuff that has 320 in it and some people think they are really well done. The most famous is the version of In Utero, which has the original albini mix of the singles. 2 LP 45RPM please. -
good floor speakers on a budget?

Badmotorfinger pressing info
kannibal replied to burntwolf's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
There is a legit Euro release that is still available. It is vanilla packaging with what appears to be, blown-up cd art work with no insert. The OG had different back cover art and an insert. A legit new copy will have the famous 320 stamper in the matrix. Some people think just because it has 320 that it's great. I think my OG yellow copy's SQ is much better than my euro reissue, but the OG also seems to suffer from a bit more inner groove distortion than the more recent press. -

kannibal replied to synapsistapped's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I got an email from TR saying the colored copies are delayed. I had an order through amazon that shipped on time though. Didn't want to order two, but I was lazy and didn't cancel the amazon before it shipped. I thought it was delayed so I didn't rush to cancel. -
I was curious about that so i checked and found this: That's pretty much bull crap, but whatever. Back on topic, so It looks like the LPs are coming with the books and the slipcase as well. That's cool. I'm not really into paying for elaborate packaging, but for some reason I don't mind for this release.

The Sam's Town picture disc sounds like crap. I have one. The first time through I thought it was passable, but I went back and It was bad the second time through. Mine has lots of surface noise, and while it sounds like there is some space and dynamics, the entire things sounds like a poor quality copy. Like someone recorded a good sounding record with a microphone and pressed it on noisy vinyl. Others experience may differ, but that is mine.

Black Friday 2012 RSD Releases Updated 10/9
kannibal replied to dreamover's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Bullmoose is not a sketchy site. -
according to Elusive Disc, which was only partially quoted earlier, Vlado Meller is doing the remaster. Yes, that Vlado, AKA Vlad the Impaler. Some of his most recent work includes the imfamously horrible Icky Thump CD/digital master. To be fair he is well respected in the industry and we have to understand that mastering engineer is a job, and if your boss tells you to do it a certain way, that's how you do it. Regardless, I remain skeptical but hopeful that it will be done right.

Sounds good! -
Stupid rant about my new pro-ject essential.
kannibal replied to isavedlatin54's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
I have to question the packing in the box. It had to have been disturbed right? It wouldn't come from Pro-ject with the tone arm flopping around in the box right? So what did that company do to cause that to happen. Was the box opened? was the TT used? If it was an amazon seller I would complain to amazon and get the shipping back. I recently went through a sale of an LP where i ended up spending over 8 dollars to see that the seller had grossly over graded his record. That sucks. Get a full refund. -
I haven't seen posts making fun of anyone for not spending thousands on their system in this thread. When someone has a large, possibly quite expensive vinyl collection and are playing it back on something cheap or a piece of junk, it not only surprises me, but it also makes me curious as to why they feel like they shouldn't spend some money on decent playback components. This senario is no different to me than if the part of the playback chain were flipped around and a person spent thousands on a killer preamp, but had it hooked up to a ion turntable and a terrible crappy, integrated amp and a pair of crap (maybe even mismatched)speakers, and had three or four shody records thay played on it.

Awesome can certainly be relative. I think the Carbon is defintely the best new TT under $400. Going up, the RP1 might be a better table and arm combo, but the fact that it comes with the OM5e could keep it from being worth the extra $50 for me. I would say that the Carbon is a good table, but not awesome. I'm sure there are more people with $1000+ TT's but just don't post regularly or comment in this sub forum. To stay on topic: Yes, start with a nice new TT. The worst it will do is out match your other parts and you can work up to it as you go. As long as you have the intention of upgrading everything over time, the source is the best place to start.

The new artwork is nice, but I liked the foil covers and hoped they would stick to the same theme for all the reissues.

After really liking Runaways, I was hoping this album would be more like than Sam's Town than Day and Age. I was wrong.- 80 replies
