Thanks fellas, I'll definitely be going for mono..

Cool

I have to add this to the best sounding category...

Radiohead - In Rainbows Deluxe Edition.

Instead of the album being on one record and cut at 33rpm this is spread over 2 records and cut at 45rpm, ok theres a bit more flipping involved, but its worth it, absolutely phenomenal sounding and one of the best for sound in my collection for sure..

Right

reesdog

I agree, the regular version does sound great, I have it also, but the deluxe definitely takes things up a few notches, plus it has a CD of extra tracks..

If anyone else has any suggestions of good or bad pressings...?? Always interested..

I'm looking for anyone in the State who knows where to get a 2016 Euro pressing of Floyd - Wish You Were Here. My understanding is that it's the only one that was done by BG, but limited to the Euro. The 2016 US press is the same as the 2011. Word is the 2016 Euro is the best ever of this album

Not sure its the best ever, but it is good. This BG cut version and the 2011 Sax cut are both very good, just a little different.

I got mine from Amazon UK.

Thanks. I find the sax a little muddy. How would you describe the difference?

Wow. I have never heard the 2011 called muddy. I think mine sounds really good. The 2011 to me is very open and the bass is very smooth.. maybe that is what you hear as muddy. Vinyl listening is so dependent on one's equipment. It kinda funny that two people can listen to the same record and hear many different things.

I would pick up the BG, especially if you don't like the Sax cut. The BG's soundstage is very good, detail is great and the bass is punchier.

Muddy to me means lacking of detail. So your description of the BG is more in line with what I like. To be clear, I don't think it's bad by any stretch. It's a very good album. But I think it is a little weaker than the other PF releases from that year. I will check out the UK.

I am anxious to hear Animals. I'm disappointed it was delayed a few weeks.

There is a MOV reissue of this about, I'm sure it sounds good as most MOV pressings do, but if you can get you hands on a 1979 original like this, you wont be disappointed, awesome album, so many good songs and sounds fabulous..

Worst in terms of skips so far is Scary Monsters by Bowie. Got that for 5 bucks recently.

I am turning into an audio snob - I will not listen to many of my records that have any kind of crackling or popping - hundreds of records have been relegated to the basement.

Do you have a record cleaner? That can sometimes rid records of the "snap, crackle, and pop"

I find if I play my records with any pop's or clicks nice and loud (which I generally do), then the music hides any imperfections like that.. Yes, a good cleaning helps too.

I feel the same in a different way. If the record isn't an audible improvement over the cd or high res flac, I don't want it.

My local has used copy of the In Rainbows box $125 USD, should I?

I got both UYI albums by GnR on Barnes and Noble with a birthday gift card recently and for some strange reason side 3 of the first one won't play which is a real bummer since November Rain kicks it off.
