Thanks for good info and thanks for video.👍
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review, I hope I can one day hear an ERC, record on needledrop.
To be fair, these STEREO stickers never look straight on originals either.
How about the RSD AAA release?
I mentioned it briefly towards the end. It’s a great pressing, but I didn’t include it in the shootout since it’s mono and I was comparing stereo pressings. Cheers!
@@JeffersonDD have you ever heard the OJC? I was keen to know what that one is like
Actually, there's no ERC controversy. Your results are consistent with Mike at the In groove.
Not sure thats the case in terms of SQ, to me the ERC bested the AP, but consistent in terms of noting the seam splits and production issues. I think Mike is a lot more passionate about his distain for these. Its the definitive pressing for Quiet Kenny in Stereo, but not by much. Cheers
@@JeffersonDD based on your description, I would prefer the AP's sound quality
@@DJGeorgeDisco there’s no question the AP is the better value. The ERC is demonstrably “better” but you’re paying about $450 more for slightly improved dynamics and imaging.
From what you are saying ERC IS ALEAYS A RIPOFF. AP is great ERC IS SHIT. When it comes to the price. And the a cut so quit. I like my music to jump!
ERC is garbage and ruining the hobby
No it is not garbage, but a snobby thing and I don't like it.
I agree. And their quality is shit.
@@zundap100it is garbage, seem splits, ticks, off label printing............. 500 dollars. I got some high dry land down in the Florida keys I can sell ya😂😂😂. ERC STANDS FOR EVEYTHING WRONG WITH OUR HOBBY
