What do you think of the new "Simply Vinyl" albums

I have a few of these new recordings and I am amazed how good they sound. I just finished listening to Dylans "Blood on the Tracks" and now I have Elvis on the table. I am surprised how good they sound. I have other "Audiophile" recordings in my collection but the sound of the Simply Vinyl exceeds all but the very best i.e. UHQR and some 220g MFSL stuff. These things are really good, and at $22.00 are not a bad deal. What do you think of these new LPs?

Is this thread a joke? All of their records are out of stock. How is this even realistically possible? Is their website crashing?

hey would one of you who are going to their website ask them if their recordings are culled from the master tapes. I have never gotten an answer from them on this.

I don't know, my Toys In The Attic on Simply Vinyl simply sucks, too fast and the sound is muddy/confused. Leaves me wanting my original, first pressing on Columbia, which got away years ago, of course.

Classic are generally good, as are Sundazed and MoFi.

Just went to their website, and it looked like pretty much EVERYTHING was listed as "out of stock"...

Rubbish! Blondie Parallel Lines on Simply Vinyl is crap. The 1st copy I got was so warped it was unplayable. The replacement one was mostly flat. While the replacement was coming I found a used Mobile Fidelity version at a local store which I purchased.

The Mofi was rich, deep and smooth, were as the Simply Vinyl sounded just like a loudness mastered CD, tinny, flat, no bass and rough high end. I suspect it was mastered from a CD or digital fiddle.
After this I swore off trying Simply Vinyl ever again.
