So, I was listening to these variants using my tt and a newer (2019) Onkyo amp I have, not very powerful, 20W speakers, etc. The variants sounded muddy.
Then I got my new (vintage) Marantz Amp, and new 75W speakers, and holy cow, it opened up beautifully. I still think the Clear and Black are the best, but all of the variants I have sounded really pretty good. I wonder if just equipment is to blame for some of the sound.
Not sure the best way to position these little miracles. Now to decide on which center labels to use...
Out of interest, did you get all 3 of the centre label sticker sets amongst those beauties?
Looks like they are numbered with the cat. # then -1, -2, -3. -2 (middle) was in more than half of mine. -3 (bottom) was in 2 copies. Placed on the couch this time...
Across the 4 variants I have (RSD, 10C, RWB, BYR) I got 3 x -3 & 1 x -1.
So ISO 1 x -2 buy or trade…

It's an art to live with pain, mix the light into grey...
Know there has been lots of discussion re: the 10C ‘purple’ red variant. I’ve wondered whether, with the title being Dark Matter & that being something that is hard to see under normal light, the choice to have a vinyl colour that reveals dark swirls in the vinyl when held up to light was on purpose? 🤔 A nice artistic choice I think if so…

Where did you buy the clear and the black one? My guess is from 10C.

Many times it's about your set up. I read complaints all of the time about different pressings sounding "bad", and then I play my copy and it sounds fine. That person could also not know how to properly set up their turntable.

Indeed. Some of the variants still sound a bit muddy, but with the new setup, its hardly noticeable.

Here’s my Philly variant. Possibly my favorite so far.
