I keep thinking about buying a turntable....and then I read threads like this. Thanks guys.
I got into it in the early 90s when you could by a record player at a yard sale for $1. Speakers, receiver and everything you needed a couple extra bucks. Everyone wanted smaller and you could find floor speakers and records at almost every yard sale. And if it broke a year later no big deal.
Hell yeah. I got into vinyl in 1995 after watching Pump Up the Volume (remember that film??)
records were so cheap (even new releases). I later sold almost all of them in the early 2000s. Oops
Yeah for those who are having skips, first give it a good clean and then make sure your tone arm is weighted properly. Turn those little weights if need be. Watch a YouTube video on it if need be- it could very well be the vinyl of course, but try to eliminate any other variables and it may help you out
Hd tracks version sounds fine to me, have not spun vinyl, just got it today
That will be the vinyl cutting files, sounds decent to me too just not audiophile like the new remaster of AiC’s The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here gets close to being - can’t believe that got a substantially more dynamic remastering with no announcement or fanfare compared to the horrendous CD and picture vinyl.
Not good either, kinda meh. Definitely compressed.
the record (vinyl) sounds good at lower volume but cranking it up def brings out the compression.
I know this is common nowadays but I was hoping for more dynamic range from the record after listening to the shitty MP3 version on my phone for the last week.

Agree, I said something just about the same over in the vinyl thread over in Other Music
Sounds great... my only complaint is the sleeves are not big enough to protect the records... oh yeah, the price was steep too... not quite 42.00 USD... is that the price of new double LP’s?
My EU copy is skipping across side A. And yes I have cleaned it and know how to set up my turntable. I wondered if this was a wider issue or if I was just unlucky?
Did you notice the wink to Cornell on the inside picture ? I post it in other thread. Pretty cool. I think it was edited as the Cornell signature is very sharp
Finally gave mine a spin today. Had been listening to it on pretty good earphones and headphones via digital FLAC. The Vinyl is putting it to shame. Sounds amazing on my home stereo
Overall presentation, little easter egg etchings, fantastic art direction and finishes on the packaging (even though the ALL CAPS font bothers me), it all adds up to so much extra thought and care beyond a great album.
I couldn’t agree more! They did a great job on this one. The production...whoa
I was thinking that after my first few listens. Just in terms of sound and production, this might be their best SOUNDING album since...Vs?
I’d definitely put it up there! I love the way Binaural sounds but I’ll say Gigaton is at least the best sounding vinyl since then. In no order I put it in with these originals...
No Code Yield Gigaton Vitalogy VS Binaural
I think next would be Ten, Riot Act and Lost Dogs
I thought LB, Backspacer and Avocado could’ve sounded better.

That's pretty much my list as well. I think the reissue of Avocado actually sounds better than the original.

Interesting. I haven’t heard any of the reissues except Ten, Vs and Vitalogy from the box sets. I might have to pick that one up someday.
Anyway, Gigaton is up there on sound for sure. They really did a fucking fantastic job on it. I listened to it outside by a fire last night through streaming and the vinyl just absolutely blows it away
