- why does this sound better than my USA first pressing? Sometimes i am annoyed by the QC of records pressed in the USA,during the vinyl heyday,, i understand they had access to the same masters , so if both have the same source why is the german press better? Superior plating and pressing,,, we should be ashamed,,, RTI and QRP are answering the bell time for rainbow, memphis, united, and all the other USA plants to step it up!!!!!
