Pre-Order Thread

Opinion of the group.

Glass Animals just restocked all their variants. Does anyone think the "audiophile" version will actually be noticeably better? I have the fancy package one pre-ordered but I'm tempted to pre-order the audiophile and either try to cancel the other or sell one at a loss once I get them both but that also seems @Mather dungeon basement level work.

Why is is audiophile, is it AAA or something? Being able to notice a discernible difference comes down to 3 things.
1. Your setup. If the setup isn't up to snuff, it probably won't make much of a difference.
2. The pressing. It could say audiophile but still sound bad. It's a gimmick unless it's AAA.
3. You. Do you have the ear? Even if you did, do you care?

I'd like to think my setup is solid and I have an ear for it but the description makes me go 🤷‍♂️Screenshot_20240703_162535_Chrome.jpg

If mofigate taught us anything, it’s that you can still make really good sounding records from digital.

So it’s a 45 cut on at least 180. Miles does good work.

Yeah the sourcing isn't an issue. It's just more "will it be that much better to go through the hassle" I'm leaning towards no but fomo gonna fomo. Plus it's a decent discussion topic.

people talk about how good Zaba sounds, so maybe?

I mean here’s the deal, is Glass Animals one of your favorites? Because that’s usually where I draw the line in an audiophile version versus whatever. I mean I always want a quality pressing and I’m not necessarily replacing good or great copies of my faves but if I have an average pressing of a fave and an audiophile copy presents itself - I’m probably rebuying. Or if a new album by say Punch Brothers (my fave active band) is coming out in a standard versus audiophile version, probably gonna opt audiophile.

They are one of my favorites and this version is only $5 more. But I also am ok with what I got and not having to get up to flip it as much. But I am/was? open to going the other way. Fomo has mostly passed haha
