Snake Rocking
BarnyardOrbit So which is the best pressing in your opinion? I just listened to this one and with the exception of some clicks due to scuffs I was really impressed with its clarity. Every time I play a great pressing of a record, I'm reminded how good vinyl sounds when its done right at all phases. Even with some surface noise it was a delight.

"AA 1006" This is the next best Audiophile Pressing to own, with its the coveted " Dynamic" pressing for best frequencies eq response and overall quietest surface. These generally tend to be centered in-correctly and have a fair amount of pressing flaws.
