In Reply to: Off the wall LP query... posted by Muzikmike on May 16, 2007 at 09:14:38:
mike: i thought you were going to post about wall-mounted album covers or something similar. :)i agree with you on the red vinyl. unfortunately, all the colored vinyl i own sounds worse than the same album in plain-old basic black. not sure if that's a function of (a) less attention being paid to the colored version as it's considered a novelty or (b) inferior vinyl or (c) something else altogether or (d) just the albums i happen to have.
Follow Ups:
Hi there.I've been very impressed with the quality of the red Pablo LPs. The few I have are extremely quiet & sound fantastic.
BTW - My favorite vinyl color is bright transparent blue. (Like that Dave Mason LP)
I have "audiophile" LPs with yellow and blue vinyl that are quiet as can be. Pure Audiophile LPs, for instance...you couldn't ask for better sounding vinyl.And anyway, old Jazz sounds good with some noise. In fact I think that there are some Jazz LPs that would lose their panache for me if they were dead quiet. I'm willing to take the risk, however, of automagically listening to those old Fantasy LPs with dead quiet backgrounds.

If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!
...but the percentage of warped LPs i have is higher with colored vinyl, too. maybe just bad luck for me.those fantasy LPs can be noisy. i still enjoy 'em -- but i think i'd take quiet vinyl (assuming what it took to get the vinyl to be quiet) over noisy vinyl any day of the week).
