slaw, are you certain it's the same dude?
I agree with TP on a lot of his critique, but call BS on some his his attempts at being "technical" with descriptives. There isn't anyone who's 100%, and he sometimes hits a BS grand slam, now and then. I'm curious of his technical pedigree.and qualifications.
Personally, im not sold on heavy presses. You probably have some decent,floppy Bowie copies in your collection? On the flip side, I have not heard a heavy press as inferior. Most, not all new, anything to my ears has bumped up bass and an unexplainable something(perhaps it just in my head?) which is lacking?
Example-Friday Music copies I have...Trower,Beck etc.. sound like their pressed for my system I used in 1978!
