Jones is definitely the recording. TLK found a NPR story where the engineer talked about it. The takes on several songs were made before they had set up the room properly and they thought it sounded bad but wanted to preserve the energy of those original takes.
Do we know if any of the subsequent pressings of Punisher are not, uh, legitimately defective?
Also a terrible pressing, but the first press of Punisher had actual mastering defects on Halloween that made it unlistenable.
There is a KPG cut RTI pressing of For Emma, Forever Ago. It sounds quite good. Hard to find without buying an open copy at this point unfortunately. My copy sounds quite good though.
what's the best way to hook one of these up? i still have what I think is DC hum on my office rig and haven't been able to get rid of it...would I have most of my stuff running into a panamax MR4300 then that plugs into my wall. Would I plug the panamax into the Emotiva then into the wall?You can get the same thing from Emotiva with 2 outlets for a lot less money- $82.

yea--don't hear it from unit itself. i've seemingly tried everything and can't figure out how to get rid of the hum. it's not too noticeable at all when i have music playing through speakers but really hear it when i have headphones on, which i do way more now with the little guys nursery right next to my office. nothing seems to be able to get rid of the sound. it's there when no sources are plugged into the amp so it has to be some kind of power or ground loop issue.
which iFi was it?

ah yea. i looked into this. annoyingly, the NAD I have in that system doesn't have a removable power cable so i can't use that one!Hang on a second.
This fella.
GND Defender by iFi audio - Eliminates ground loops that often cause audible speaker hum.
GND Control The GND Defender (Ground) eliminates ground loops in your audio set-up that often cause audible speaker hum.
i hesitate to do that because i could do all that and still have the issue haha. but its some food for thought! thanks!Bugger! If you were really desperate you could cut off most of the NAD power cord, fit an IEC socket and then could use this and a removable power cord?
Would just need one of these, other vendors are available is just an example, and a knowledge of wiring plugs and it is actually not a hard job.
