    Japanese Pressings

    I used to buy lots of second hand jazz records from Japan between 2006-2009. I quit buying Japanese pressings because I noticed I didn't like their sound signature. I gave away almost all of them but I always wonder why they sound bad (at least to me) other than being cut from later generation...

    Tokyo Audio Show 2023

    Some pictures from Tokyo Audio Show 2023. IMHO this is a more focused, quiet, better sounding show compared to Munich. There are too many variables regarding show conditions so please take my comment with a grain of salt. I liked Techdas/Goldmund/Wilson room, Audionec and Avalon speakers.

    Warped Records

    I’m buying records since 1995. I have both old and newly pressed records. Almost all newly pressed records (lets say 2000 and later) are warped. Some of them are very lightly warped, not a big problem. On the other hand almost all old records are perfectly flat. I wonder how could they manage to...

    Superiority Of Electric Recording Company Releases

    For the last couple of years everything Electric Recording Company released is sold out before hitting the shelves. I highly suspect superiority of London based ERC releases compared to Analogue Productions, ORG, Music Matters etc in terms of sound quality. I compared two ERC titles with OJC...
