Heavy Vinyl By Label
A label that consistently produces some of the worst sounding records we’ve ever played.
Records Like This Make Audiophiles the Laughing Stocks of the Music World
This album has some of the worst sound I have ever heard in my life, worse than The Hunter even, and that’s saying something. If this kind of crap is what audiophiles choose to play, then they deserve all the derision heaped upon them.

The Electric Recording Company Does My Favorite Things No Favors
Unfortunately for those of you who have bought into the idea that the Electric Recording Company produces records with audiophile quality sound, you will find an utterly alien My Favorite Things, one nobody has ever heard before and one that no audiophile should want anything to do with.
Turning Master Tapes into Mud Pies – The Magic of the Electric Recording Company
Seriously, This is Your Idea of Analog?
Whether made by Klavier or any other label, starting at some point in the mid-90s, many Heavy Vinyl pressings started to have a shortcoming that nowadays we find insufferable: they are just too damn smooth.
Tizzy Cymbals and a Bright Snare Drum, That’s Your Idea of Audiophile Sound?
I knew pretty early on in the session that this was not a good sounding jazz record. Five minutes was all it took, but I probably wasted another ten making sure the sound was as hopeless as it initially seemed.
We would never sell any record that sounds this bad. If this record sounds right to you, one thing I can say without fear of contradiction: you have a lot of work to do on your stereo system.
