Definitive Audiophile pressings

This arrived today. I'm not sure who in this thread was the enabler (the search on New Order doesn't work very well), but really excited to give it a spin.

I ordered this:


but think they have sent me this:

Enjoy! I have that version. It’s so damn good.
 
THEY'RE GONNA DEBATE!

Sometimes I think 95% of this shit is them just creating beef and getting more views/money.
Nailed it. A fabricated controversy that affects a fraction of 1% of the population, Mike gets more views and adds to his self-positioning as a vinyl guru - so he can build his online sales, Fremer is getting long in the tooth so gets a measure of continued relevance and more hits to his money making site, Chad of course isn't doing this for charity.

Irrelevant to me. I'll never buy ERC and won't ever buy a lacquer.
 
Thanks to @marshall for pointing this out to me today but there's a RKS mastered Pallas pressed Black Friday RSD version of Cohen "Songs of Love and Hate". It's not AAA but it's a high res transfer from the original tapes in some manner and by all accounts it sounds great. I grabbed a copy but haven't gotten it yet. I had the Sundazed but my copy was awful, got rid of it.

Damn this thing sounds good! Just spinning now.
 
part 2 in my New Order delivery. Pressed at RTI but has a weird symbol after the standard format, anyone know what that means?

Further identification features of the stamps for RTI pressings are one or two crosses with dots.
( ꔰ [unicode symbol], + or ++), which indicate a pressing of RTI.



It just seems to be an indicator that it was pressed at RTI.

Mine just arrived today (along with the Little Feat RSD that my boi cut). Will report back. I also have the Sundazed Leonard Cohen.

I’m excited to get this. I am pretty sure the Sundazed was also a digital transfer since it was “remastered from original tapes”. Was yours a Kevin Gray cut? I have an original pressing with the booklet which is kind of cool but it’s VG. It’s a record that really needs a quiet pressing.

I believe this is the one I already had:

Sundazed is always iffy about sourcing though and hard to know if things are digital or AAA in some cases.
