Cool. I'll give the new album Smile a few more spins. I guess my initial reaction was mostly negative since the album is really loud (very similar to the noise version of Vein if you've heard that one) and I was tired.
I really like Pink. But Rainbow is my favorite Boris album because Kurihara rules.
Heres the album art for their new album. I'll upload a few tracks if you can't find it
After doing more critical listening I'm convinced they were going for this lowfi effect. There's no way Steve Hoffman or Kevin Gray intended for this to sound so muddy.
I'll be able to hear it on a dialed in Aries3 soon so I guess I'll see how it sounds then. God damn vinyl
Yes.
This is the type of feedback I'm looking for. The needle drop does sound worse than being played on the table, but it's not an entirely inaccurate representation of what I'm hearing. The tone and muffled sound is heard listening to the vinyl as well. And looking at the waveform it should be sounding a hell of a lot more dynamic than it does.
The setup is:
MMF-5/Goldring 1012 cart -> NAD PP-2 -> Emu0404usb as the analog digital converter.
The TT setup is in a not very optimized position right now. Sitting on the top of my rack with pretty much no vibration isolation.
Do you guys think this sounds a bit too over dampened and muffled? Definitely not what it sounds like on my TT
Thanks, and looking forward to your feedback.
edit: will update with better drops, this one sucked
