It sounds...different, but like, it's a good different. I don't know why, but it's kind of an enjoyable thing to do, listening to your NIN vinyls, I mean. I do wish the vinyl was limited edition though.

Like, darker, more alive sounding.

I wouldnt call it a low-end or mid tone. Just sounds fuller? although I have some bad sounding vinyl as well. My lateralus was a bad press or something

CDs are mastered with a focus on Treble and Midrange, and are mixed with the volume extremely close to the 0 db level (maximum volume). The majority of systems you will play that on will also amp up the bass and drag down the midrange. Vinyl records are mixed slightly lower than the 0 db level, to give a greater range of volume. And lastly, look at what system you play your vinyl on, and what system you listen to your digital copy on. You can listen to the same digital audio file on your iPod and your home stereo and your computer speakers and your car stereo, and because of the environment, and different output devices (aka, different speakers and reciever units), you will recieve different levels of the EQ spectrum. Believe me, I hear different parts of Year Zero better in my car (usually the bass), different parts better in my living room, different parts better on my headphones....

I have it and I will never sell it. Its worth it though, it sounds very different. I think alot of noise gets lost in the mastering process, something about The Fragile on vinyl is so raw...you hear different things. Its stellar.

Vetraulich member Joined: 08/08/08 Location: Chicago Posts: 33	Never heard The Slip on vinyl. I have however heard Things Falling Apart (the first full NIN album I ever heard). Sounded AMAZING. The CD is awesome too, but a different experience. I get what you all are saying. I wish I had the money to buy a record player and buy some older records and NIN and others, but it won't do with my limited moneys, and I've already got a nice CD collection :/

I know it's not the same thing, but I don't want to play my precious vinyls!
