re: #22 Eclectic Cyborg

Hey come on now, there is some music that only sounds right on Vinyl…

If it was pressed on virgin vinyl, the master was done at half-speed and the stampers were replaced after 40,000 pressings maybe I could agree.

But then you run into the nasty non-linearity of the RIAA equalization curve, and the sad reality is the quality of mass-produced vinyl pressed before CD’s came online was horrid.

And I mean REAL horrid. When the sound of the reground vinyl is louder than the tape hiss of the recording, that’s bad.
