[QUOTE="MusicMan_ZA, post: 1106037, member: 14924"] This pretty much describes my own experience with many new "audiophile pressings" vs. my well-played vintage pressings. And between Interpak and Artone (the two main printing press companies that made the covers for our local pressings, and whereby we mainly identify a local pressing) packaged records and "imports" (which I hunted for mostly at Ragtime but often even found at Dions), I as often found that Import was better than Local as I found that Local was equal to or better than Import. I guess we received the same master tapes, but often our local stampers saw less use (total number of pressings) than some high-volume overseas pressing plants, and therefore we sometimes had better pressings, right up to the end, than they had from about the middle to the end of their run?
