No pops/clicks/noise. There isn't a huge difference in the audio quality, I think this pressing is a little more quiet than the yellow marble. However, I also received a copy of Tremulant from the EU store yesterday, an order which I had cancelled, and it came with fucking COD charges. We'll see if they respond but I'm probably just going to end up disputing the credit card payment. natenomm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Wasn’t MOV’s a similar shade of opaque gold? Didn’t seem to stop people from dropping $200+ on it. daegor and chrisapple 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it matches the cover super well too, and looks fine in person. (The MOV). Whiners gonna whine though. Pretty much all their recent posts are complaints about something. chrisapple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathPeak Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Got my Cloud Hills Deloused. Didn't even get a shipping notification. Just showed up. Small seam splits and pretty basic packaging, but I'm just glad to have a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I could just get the replacement LP I actually needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathPeak Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Did you ask for a replacement or did they just randomly send you one knowing that there would be splits from the vinyl? Edited July 7, 2021 by DeathPeak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I had to open a dispute, then they refunded me in full, never asked for the EP back so I flipped that shit 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was for me, I had opened a ticket months ago saying I needed a Deloused LP1, LP2 from Noctourniquet, and a jacket for Noctourniquet. Both the LPs look rough, but play mostly fine except for the visible non-fill causing it’s signature paper ripping sound. The Noctourniquet jacket looked liked someone sat on it prior to stuffing it, as everything else in the box is in perfect condition. they sent me a jacket for Deloused. I emailed them. I’m sure they’ll make it right. Things may be slow right now, but the CS has been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Got De-loused today, did a comparison of the MOV silver pressing to this, used B side of LP1. They are both really good, I'd say that Clouds Hill is extremely slightly clearer. But barely noticeable. Bare in mind I just have an Audio-Technica 60 with a shit receiver and an old surround Velocity of Sound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyEnemy Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Everyone fuckin freakin over this and canceling their subs are full idiots. ATLiens, 2xLP Enter The Wu and Fear of a Black Planet are far more exciting and supurior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a cobbled together vintage system, several actually, but my main system is an Ortofon Red on a Technics SL-5300 into a Marantz 2270 feeding a pair of Pioneer CS-G301W speakers. The cost to me for all of those components was roughly $1000. Speaker cable cost is negligible. Its fairly heavy gauge from a spool that I'm pretty sure is Monster brand but by no means is it some wild, boutique level component. All of those components, had they been bought brand new around their production years, may have costed well over $4000. Adjust for inflation and... who the fuck knows what anything is actually ever worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 It's not that wild of a number if you're always on the lookout for used deals. My turntable alone was almost that much in the 70s but I got it for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ravenously stalked eBay and craigslist and managed to get lucky on a few key pieces of gear. Shelby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
