You're system is just too shitty. Gotta drop a couple more grand on the table if you want to listen to an album without noise /s

Or downgrade to a Crosley. Then EVERYTHING will sound noisy

I think plugging a Crosley into a Doobie brothers record really is the sweet spot when it comes to evaluating audiophile records…

it's not the pressings. that's how the definitive version of those albums are supposed to sound.

Lol! I loved the suggestion that it was a sample. I hope no poor fucker fell for that and let it go…

Oh I do occasionally browse for the shits n giggles. Not worth getting involved! I like the suggestion that fluance and u-turns are a sack of shit

Whenever I get the CS line of "well maybe this release just isn't going to work for you..." it's very hard to not respond with "My system costs $35,000. It's not me, it's you." I've so far resisted... but it's hard...Oh I do occasionally browse for the shits n giggles. Not worth getting involved! I like the suggestion that fluance and u-turns are a sack of shit
EDIT: In hindsight I might have SLIGHTLY exaggerated that number... but you get the idea...

Where’d you find this photo of @Mather ?
VMP quality control looking for noisy grooves that turn up in 75% of their releases...

Yeah but it's Canadian so that's like, pennies to you guys...
But also, never do this.
And I didn't pay that in actual cash. I sold my soul... hence the whole NIGHTMather situation.

Apparently the Etta was pressed at Rainbo according to the VMP site. Don't know how it sounds but they used to be the worst plant before they shut down.
I might have a copy of Nucleus lying around if you'd rather trade something than buy it! I think I have one with a seam split lying around somewhere...

I actually have both of those and I think the Etta sounds freaking GREAT surprisingly. Think my label was off center if I remember correctly but I was pretty blown away by how great it sounded!
As for the Nucleus offer, if I didn’t already own it I would take you up on that
. Appreciate it! Bill Evans arrived by the way and was a fun spin last night, thanks for the solid trade experience

good to know! i remember hearing the prestige exclusives all sounded solid but then the Rainbo pressing info made me second-guess myself. I had grabbed the Yusef Lateef and Sonny Rollins but missed out on the others. Sonny and Yusef are great too.I actually have both of those and I think the Etta sounds freaking GREAT surprisingly.

Super secret LA store? Do tell!

Common Wave Hi-Fi! Super well curated with little foot traffic for the record store, most people end up there looking for audio gear so hasn’t been picked over by the general LA record crowd
