dreamover Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I've listened to the first disc on my nice set up and my less than nice turntable in my room. The only distortion I hear on zero is a little sibilance in Billy's voice, otherwise it sounds like the digital remaster. Not sure if I got lucky or what. I will say, on my cheaper table, the tonearm doesn't make it to the end of the record because there's no dead wax. No record should go that close to the label.

I wanna see how close it comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 .ca tried to ship my order yesterday but it seems my card was declined. I fixed it just now, so hopefully it ships today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Man, my MCIS set hasn't shipped from .ca, and with a delivery date like that, I think I should just have it shipped to my parent's house in Ohio anyway, if it's going to be cutting it that close. I don't need the thing shipped and then have it get held up at customs and not make it to Chicago before I leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Yorkified Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'm glad I'm not caught up in that mess. I think it's worth the extra fifty dollars(if you have it) to just buy it somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewilliamson Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 the tonearm doesn't make it to the end of the record because there's no dead wax. No record should go that close to the label. That's the problem right there. Once you get that close to the inner label, the grooves are so thin that a loud song will definitely distort or produce sibilance. It's so stupid to spread this out to 4 LPs, only to have each side STILL go to the ass end of the wax. I'm sure the first two songs sound great, cuz they have all that room to stretch out.

Thom Yorkified Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 so did this sound bad on 3lps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 so did this sound bad on 3lps? No, the original sounds terrific. I was working at a stereo shop when this was released and it was awesome to be able to listen to it on the high end equipment. There was a CD version at the shop as well and the vinyl smoked it. It was fun to demo it for people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxUSSR Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 i keep meaning to download the digital version now to hear all the extras but i keep spacing guess i'll do that now. Do it. I didn't even bother with the LP set, I am an audiophile (a very broke one atm). 24/96 downloads offered as part of the package have no distortion at all ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 i will say, i haven't cared for "1979" since probably 1998, but it sounds so good on this vinyl set, definitely better than the original LP. I heard noises I've never heard before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard noises I've never heard before. I agree, 1979 sounds great. Unfortunately there are noises I've never heard before on Zero, as well.

If it hasn't shipped you can still update your shipping address and change it to your parents address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsostarich Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I had to change my shipping address and I accidentally changed my billing address as well. I think that's why it hasn't shipped yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withengineheart Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 My copy has apparently been in Bergen since Thursday. The UPS dude has 'attempted delivery' twice since then apparently but at super odd hours, like 9am (when I'm at school) and 9pm on a Friday (when I'm out drinking). UPS Norway doesn't have a phone number to reach the delivery guy for some reason? Sounds like I gotta camp out at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyfranciosa Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 it wouldn't be at Shipping Soon if it weren't being packed. Amazon doesn't operate that way... you're getting one. crapforgenius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsostarich Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I got on the chat feature on amazon.ca with customer service and they said they're trying to ship all orders to be delivered before Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
