No This Is Patrick Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I knew I should have jumped on TDK when it was $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetrakis Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 i've bought from importcds before without issue. great amazon seller (as is Marvelio) This place is strange, and their order status system is a joke. Ordered Sparta and Interstellar presale, with 2 other items. They sent the two other items and have refused to answer my contacts regarding Wiretap and Interstellar. When i ordered Sparta it was $22, now it's $34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Received the package in Europe from amazon.com today and they sent me The Dark Knight instead (record mailer and the packing slip had The Inception data). The Dark Knight sleeve had a 2 inch razor blade cut on the sleeve, this is not the first time something like this has happened to me. I can see that many stores carry The Dark Knight in Europe but where is The Inception? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thethreebeggars Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Wow, what a huge fail from amazon (or rather a marketplace seller?). Sorry to hear, pal. Don't really think this'll help but at least you got a decent sounding record out of this, because from what I've heard on my friend's setup, the repress sounds like total crap. Especially the B side. I was quite baffled actually. Additionally since current impressions vary so much, cause from what I've heard, it seems that this will be my worst sounding record so far. (only listened to his copy, haven't spun mine yet). Well anyway, this won't help you really if it's just for collecting purposes, I guess. I just checked amazon.de, seems like hhv's amazon marketplace shop has three in stock. For 34,29€ though... yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 ^ Wrong, my copy sounds incredible. Very, very small bits of surface noise in super quiet parts, but the dynamics of the record are great and it just sounds like an awesome OST on vinyl. dickcritter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has a little bit of surface noise, but sounds excellent overall. The B side in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thethreebeggars Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 What is your setup? Mine has a little bit of surface noise, but sounds excellent overall. The B side in particular. Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit w/ Ortofon 2M Red, Pro-Ject Pre-Amp, a proper AV amplifier (but I forgot the brand) and tower speakers from Teufel. I totally believe you guys about your records sounding good but from what I've experienced and heard so far it's quite the gamble whether it'll be a decent copy or not. I wonder how that could even be the case. Maybe some intern at the pressing plant cleaning the master dics only every tenth copy or what? Not that I know whether that's necessary at all. Enlighten me please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Well, if you're only saying that the record sounds terrible because of surface noise, maybe it's because I deep RCM cleaned mine that it sounds great now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thethreebeggars Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Nope, distinct crackle and loud pops. Giving my copy a spin now. Have to set up my setup though, actually didn't wanna do this until I've moved but your impressions make me too curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Haha, I mean, I can even take a video if you'd like me to, I just don't want someone's impressions of an entire pressing run ruined because of one or two bad copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thethreebeggars Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's not like I'm the only one but I hope you're right and it's like 5-6 bad copies max. Still have some hope left though. I'll know more in about an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works vice versa as well though. You could be one of the lucky few with a good copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotfactory Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 My copy is noisy as hell as well. I need to clean it and give it another shot, but the first listen was pretty disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Damn, I figured it was only an isolated incident, sucks to hear that! Guess it's a toss up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It can also.be the inner sleeve and the static it creates, even wet cleaning doesnt always remove that. If the pops and clicks are at different places each time its static. Also explains why there is surface noise on one turntable and not on the other one.

thethreebeggars Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Looks like I'm one of the luckier ones. Yes, there is surface noise but it's manageable, even over headphones. I don't come close to the many pops and crackles my pal's copy has but that doesn't change the fact that this repress isn't nearly as good as it should be, considering the complaints on the first pressing and who's involved in making them. ...Good thing we flipped a coin when deciding who gets which copy (we ordered together; I lost and got the one with the small seam split on top) edit: but as has been mentioned prior, the dynamics on this are totally awesome.

cemeterytapes Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I cleaned mine on an RCM and there noise floor is a little higher than on some of my other, audiophile pressed records, but it's unnoticeable once the music actually starts. There's a little more popping than on some of my other records too, but that's probably just a result of the dust that has accumulated on the surface and my guess would be that it has nothing to do with the actual pressing. It really makes me wanna get a Zerostat gun though... And whoever said killer dynamics...yeah, the range on this thing is HUGE. Overall blown away by how nice it is, especially for 20 bucks. Can't beat that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSneis Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 My copy actually sounds really good aside from some slightly louder than normal crackling during the first track, it seems to only affect the first couple of minutes then the rest is great. Has been cleaned on a VPI 16.5 and there's actually no visible damage that I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
