    This has become my favourite edition of this album. The Original Detroit Mix

    A lot more clearer, more of marvin's vocals layered, naturally EQd

    I got the AKG N400 and they sound fantastic for wireless audio, it's really surprising how far bluetooth audio gear has come and this doesn't even have lossless wireless.

    https://crinacle.com/guide/tws/
    it's rated a B++ here by Crinacle, his highest rated TWS IEM

    great sound, great value


    Best I've heard this album sound is on a needledrop of the new UHQR.

    and here's a pressing that made me appreciate more an album that I was never that hot on, as much as apparently everybody else on earth

    King Record Co. Japan | GXK 8055 | 1958 / 1978

    Most reissue were mastered brightly to bring out detail but that is usually a double edged sword. By brightening, they made the whole soundstage a lil weirder. This darker version, although closer to the original mono (i've not heard an original stereo), has a soundstage I can wrap my ahead around, there's detail you can grasp that you couldn't in the remasters i've heard and it, over all, beats my previous go-to, 1992 Wally mastered pressing

    AKG die hard and for 150 i may have to cop

    They didn't mentions those

    You'd have a much better selection for value and sound if you were to go for an in ear. Doesn't have to be super in ear like the etymotics. earbuds have to boost the low mids to compensate for having s*** base because there's no seal

    I don't know it just seems like it's not my thing I don't like how they feel in the ear, I got the big sony xm3 wireless ones and I got pixel buds and I just don't seem to enjoy the whole in-ear experience

    So I'm looking for half in-ear ones

    Because I ALSO have these that came with my phone

    And they're extremely comfortable (not talking sound cause they're pretty basic)

    But they sit very nicely

    Great thread @op

    Anyone else know Eddie Sancho? He mixes nearly all of Alchemist’s stuff and did lots for Preemo in the 90s

    I stg, each album he engineers has been mixed progressively worse than the previous one, most recent being Conway’s GDMM and Benny’s Tana Talk 4, both of which I’d say have straight up bad mixing.

    It’s gotten to the point where I lose hype for an album if I see he’s the engineer

    @op I'm listening to Off Season in Atmos and it just sounds much better, though it's quieter the audio doesn't feel as grating, beats and the bass pops out more too. THIS is what the album should've sounded like in the first place tbh
