Across the 4 variants I have (RSD, 10C, RWB, BYR) I got 3 x -3 & 1 x -1.Father Hubbard said:
Looks like they are numbered with the cat. # then -1, -2, -3.desolatejoy said:
Out of interest, did you get all 3 of the centre label sticker sets amongst those beauties?Father Hubbard said:Not sure the best way to position these little miracles. Now to decide on which center labels to use...
-2 (middle) was in more than half of mine. -3 (bottom) was in 2 copies.
Placed on the couch this time...
So ISO 1 x -2 buy or trade…Wembley Arena, London - 28/10/96

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…

ISO Boston and the 2 Internationals. Held off on this project until 10C started selling. Guess I need to finish em now!0

10c hasn’t put up any of those. I’d wait for them to go up there if you can’t get them in stores.0

Where did you buy the clear and the black one? My guess is from 10C.Vedd Hedd said: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.-95, Stockholm (MirrorBall Tour)

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.Vedd Hedd said: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.

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