Esbjörn Svensson – Home.s.

I absolutely agree with what communique1 says. My experience with this pressing has been flawless and it is incredibly quiet. It is perfectly suited for this type of music, with a deep and immersive soundstage. There are no imperfections or fingerprints to be found. It has quickly become one of my all-time favorite items.

On my rig, the vinyl is absolutely flawless! Quiet, Dynamic, and on the warmish side with extended, grain-free highs. Maybe the other's pressings were somehow imperfect, but not in my case. A beautiful album that I'll cherish.

I also have distorted tracks on the A-side. Little soundglitches. A shame because this type of music deserves a deadquiet pressing. Esbjörn deserves way better!

The last track of A-side is distorted. Cracks and pops all over both sides. Scratches, fingerprints and bit of dirt. Paper inner sleeve with some tears. I liked the sound, but the record quality is just awful. What a shame for this beautiful music.
Avoid this pressing and buy the CD instead. I have no idea where it is pressed but what a waste of resources...
