regular vinyl pressings

I personally prefere vinyls pressed in europe(Germany, UK and Netherlands in particular) over the US made ones. More than half of my vinyl collection is from europe.
That's the sonic signature on most of them that is pleasing me more than in the same US record.
The only exception on US pressed albums is EG edditions.
If you would shopp for regular(non-MFSL or direct-to or 1/2speed) vinyls which pressing would you prefere?

Just enjoy the music...

Again, that's why I use a modded Technics 1200. It's music friendly.

The labels you are looking for will largely be determined by the type of music or specific artist you are looking for. (i.e.- Don't look for an ECM pressing of Boston or any other rock artists.) Alot of the smaller record companies do a better job of pressing, while the larger companies crank it out too fast, athough there are lots of exceptions in both cases. Check album reviews and ask around about specific albums.

As suggested above, you could also get a table in which you can't discern a good pressing from bad, in which case, your problem is solved.....

BTW- I have alot of import/european rock I'd like to sell. If you're interested, let me know.

My modded Technics 1200 is a high end TT, just that it is also music friendly. Rigged with an Ortofon X5 MC and a Monolithic Sound phono stage it humilliates my CDP/DAC combo no contest.

Where did you learn your audio, man? From a high end salesman?
