Happy Hippo posted:I hope I'm not opening a can of worms here but does colored vinyl sound worse than black? I typed a whole long thing but the window closed. Anyway, this is something of a myth. The reason that colored pressings have this reputation is that quality control on those seems to be worse. I don't know exactly why but I have guesses. I tend to avoid them if possible but I have plenty of wacky colored discs that sound fine. I have some that are not so hot but quality control on new LPs has been all over the place the last several years so it is what it is. A lot of hyper-nerds and audiophile lunatics will rant and/or rave about which pressing plants such and which don't. Fancypants reissues and such will use RTI and Pallas. In my experience these live up to the hype. A lot of run of the mill releases will used United Record Pressing or CZ Media. They're not great but they're not as terrible as people say. I do have some mediocre pressings from both but plenty that are fine. It's kind of a crap shoot. Third Man used United for many years before they opened their own plant. Having owned a lot of that material I can confirm that United is pretty subpar but not always awful.

Just to be clear this was the record I was referring to that looked all cool going spinny, it is a picture dischaljordan posted:Deafheaven 4 life Not sure why coloured vinyl came into the discussion but i got no beef with it myself, wild colours own! They own!! As for picture discs, I avoid them, I do have one, a Disney Fox and the Hound disc contemporary to the film's release that I inherited from my older sister. Sentimental value.

I will say this for picture discs: They beat lathe cuts by a mile. Those things are only good as a thing to collect. Kinda hate how much stuff Mike Dixon puts out only on lathe. I get it, with the production lead time and costs of doing proper pressings these days, lathe cuts are kinda analogous to compact cassettes in terms of ease of production and low cost being democratizing, but they also sound worse than compact cassettes* sometimes. Lathe cutting can be done reasonably well, but they can also be done absolutely terribly, and that's in the hands of an experienced lathe cutter (a lather?) like Mike Dixon. It's real hit-and-miss. Or more accurately, softly-landing-near-the-edge-of-the-target-and-miss. I have almost a dozen of them *compact cassettes CAN sound great, if they're type III with Dolby NR on a good deck. As there's only one deck manufacturer nowadays and they make crappy mechanisms, Dolby doesn't license their NR anymore, and type I is the only type still being made... yeah. pwn fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Jun 20, 2023 |

I have a bunch of colored vinyl because of the amount of game and anime soundtracks I have and none of them have sounded worse than any of my other stuff, but my Gojira and Final Fantasy 9 picture vinyl do seem to have a lower quality while playing IME compared to everything else I have. Honestly the worse album I’ve bought quality wise so far is the anniversary release of the self titled RATM album, has a very noticeable skip on Bullet in the Head and I’ve read a lot of people have way worse quality issues on it.

Made some orders, got 1 so far Armor For Sleep - What To Do When You Are Dead showed up the other day Alkaline Trio - Good Mourning is on it's way, it's the Vagrant Records 25th anniversary pressing The Postal Service - Everything Will Change, just announced live album from their 2013 reunion show, doesn't ship til September and I just got notice that my copy of Thrice's The Artist In The Ambulance 20th Anniversary Re-visited finally shipped. According to Reddit, it got delayed because the lyrics paper had an accidental backwards print job, whoops.

Shredder posted:Just bought this because I'm stupid and hate money Goddamn, that's the one to get because those first two records only ever got pressed on picture discs. I hope they reissue the first record because of this though. That's really the only record I have any affinity for that I'd like to own on vinyl. As far as colored discs go it's the same as black vinyl. it all comes down to manufacturing QC and the manufacturer. I definitely have black vinyl that sounded great over the colored counterpart and the other way around. Dunno its vinyl. its a crapshoot.

It's still $200 got drat dollars, but breaking it into payments was a good deal, especially since I already use Shop for a bunch of other online stores.

Been out of the hot stamper game for a minute now due to being broke as well. But I got to visit Third Man in Nashville on vacation and got some stuff. Fun fact, there’s a secret entrance to the building that you can only enter if you press my doorbell backwards under a specific lunar phase while standing on grooved pavement. Anyway here’s what my sweetheart got me.

I really love Dethklok but I don't think I can justify 200 bucks for 4 albums, especially since I really just want the first two... I have the Celeste box set along with Paradise Killer and Chicory's soundtracks on the way from Ship to Shore, can't wait to listen to them. I got Louis Cole's new album in today and I think it's pretty great, don't think there's a song I dislike on it.

Mr E posted:Paradise Killer You did it, you said the code-phrase that activates me like a drat sleeper agent. gently caress I love that game (as in I barge into the conversation any time it's brought up...like right now!), and the OST is such a huge part of it.  It was also my first vinyl, coincidentally enough.

I'm certain that store was designed by a thousand focus groups and consultants to specifically dislodge as much money as possible from the wallets of dorks like you and I but god damnit, I don't care. I was there over the summer and picked up JFE's Wolf Songs for Lambs and a few 45s.

I want more but I am restraining myself. Thanks! Also I still have my Garth boxset and after finding out he is decidedly not a chud, instead of trying to just get rid of it as a gag gift I'm going to listen to each set and try to hear the subtle differences in the recordings.
