i've been spinning my old rlp set rn tbh the 1973 press has more depth imo the 2016 r2a2 tries to be 'audiophile' but they over‑bias the lacquer it flattens the groove geometry lol the original quarter‑inch groove has natural compression that the digital remaster kills the high‑frequency bloom is gone also the acetate bias they used for the r2a2 adds a harsh edge i know some say newer pressings are cleaner but cleaner = sterile you lose the warm distortion that makes vinyl magic

anyone else notice the same or am i just nostalgic?
