timsimmons Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Yeah, there is a significant difference between the Plain and the 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the new deluxe and think it’s fantastic. Only have the 2007 Plain to compare though and the new master is an easy winner, of course.

Figured people would jump to compare given the OG press love despite not being FULLY ANALOG. Yeah, there was a lot of talk about wanting to compare, just no comparisons yet. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hopefully my uDiscover or Recordstore or whoever, gets my standard here in the next day or 2. Happy to compare. Shelby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said before only the CD has a significant improved sound on my setup. Still my preffered way to listen to this album. Maybe it's my ears or I don't know. 🤠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) So I totally forgot about wanting to compare the Loveless pressings. My digital LP finally came, so I compared the Plain, the 2018 MBV AAA pressing and the 2021 Domino digital. I did this blind because I thought it would be the most fair. To no ones surprise, clearly the Shields cuts are superior to the Plain. Plain sounds very good for being CD sourced, but you can tell the soundstage wasn’t as robust as it is on the 2018 AAA and the 2021 Digital. The lows also sounded better on the Shields cuts. The Shields cuts were also cut a bit quieter than the Plain, which I don’t mind. surprisingly, I could tell very little difference between the 21 digital and the 18 AAA. I have some pretty good gear (VPI HW19 with Grado Gold, Marantz 2270 and some vintage Polk bookshelfs), so maybe with something better or some great cans I could tell them apart. I think if you had to settle for the digital pressing, I wouldn’t sweat it unless the knowledge of it not being all analog as well has having a kick ass tip on sleeve is gonna eat at you. If you have a Plain pressing, I think it’s worth the upgrade, even the cheaper digital pressing.

spoon Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 So strange, my deluxe copy of Loveless just arrived from JB today as well, months after it supposedly shipped. I’d written it off/forgotten about it and hadn’t even followed up with customer service, it just showed up out of the blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttler Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Post with Australia is messed up at the moment. Our tight lockdowns are causing havoc internally with post, but also with things getting to and from Australia. We are not really letting many/any people into the country, so it means the amount of planes coming here is a fraction of usual. I just had something take 3 months to arrive from the US... but then something arrived in 2 weeks. I can't see the pattern yet why some things are quick and some are taking forever.
