Robert_Sofa Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Just got my the /1500 variant in today, with no seam splits whatsoever, which was a nice surprise. :-) I know mine is delivered and just sitting at home... Seams be split? I await the moment of truth.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecrets0308 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Mine was noticeable immediately as the records themselves were sticking out of the jacket about 1/4 of an inch with the shreddings of the inner sleeve all over the place inside the MOV plastic outer sleeve.

RadDonut Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Got my silver in today and I'm extremely impressed with the packaging. I just wish the number was actually on the jacket instead of the plastic cover. Am I missing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've hidden it on the vinyl itself but you have to scratch away the silver color lottery ticket style. agaetisbyrjun, mixofuzz and jaba1337 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falseswipe Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Is anyone having an issue with certain guitar lines being either muffled or completely absent from the mix? I'm talking specifically about the rapidly strummed overdriven guitar behind the verses and bridge of "Inertiatic," the guitar behind the "nobody is heard" chorus of "Drunkship" and the lead guitar during the verses of "Eriatarka." I can't hear any of those. I'm wondering if this is a new vinyl mix, a problem with my cartridge alignment, or a pressing error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 so im guessing that these are completely sold out everywhere? Not at all. The black versions are readily available on ShopRadioCast and Soundstage Direct's sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna say that this is a problem with your connection or cartridge alignment. Can you confirm that you can hear sound independently out of both speakers while the record plays? What are you listening on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Ok I can confirm that at least on the CD both the riffs you are referring to are mixed hard to only one side of the stereo field or only coming out of one speaker. You're lacking the signal from one side I think. natenomm and danionly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems were split. Emailed them asking for replacements. We'll see what happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 After hearing about all of the seam split issues I think I'm going to go with SoundStage Direct again for Amputechture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're lacking the signal from one side I think. Definitely. Is anyone else with the silver copy experiencing this though? There's a chance it's a dead frequency on one side of my reciever (if that's evern a thing) considering it's pretty old, but I've tried other LPs that have hard panning and they sounded fine. I'm really suspicious that it's a problem with this press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 That's weird. My silver copy has both channels intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattvsshark Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I honestly don't know the science to be completely honest with you. But I have a couple mats and my sleeve city carbon mat added a bit to the bass and almost completely killed the static and surface noise. I thought it might've been a placebo effect but after switching back and forth on the same album it's noticeable. For 40 bucks it was worth it for me, also I run an m97xe cart just for an idea of what I'm working with. Sweet. Thanks for sharing! May have to pick one up at some point.

filthyrich Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Awaiting a response... You never know. It might be worth it to send it to him. A record broken in half and a jacket signed, "FUCK YOU. Love Cedric," would probably be worth good $$ on the Bay. psus2h, Requiescat, almightyseancore and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 It's not cheap... But if you're regularly dropping $30-40 on a single record, you owe it to yourself to pay at least that much for a decent mat: http://herbiesaudiolab.net/ttmat.htm There's others but I've never had an issue with this one. Quality product, great reviews across the board. Some places have it cheaper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 So I listened to sides A through C last night in almost dead quiet surroundings and I have to say it sounds phenomenal. There's so much space between each instrument. You can really hear everything and the timbres really shine. Good going on this press, MOV. The only quality issue I heard was some syllabance on the S's at the very end of "Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)." Otherwise I thought it sounded amazing.
