Same here, I use an Audio technica AT540. Very good in the inner grooves.

I can't agree with the first comment. This isn't an audiophile recording, but the pressing itself is just fine. Plays without noise, soundwise it's as good as it can get for a presumably digital master.

Pressing quality is ok, in some parts a little crackling but not dramatic. Soundwise a nice mastering. The music is of course questionable, I like it as a long time fan (since siamese dream) but I understand that not everybody does. Maybe a single... See full review

Great pressing, very dynamic and quiet. Something to play when you want to show someone how cool vinyl sounds.

Cut by Chris Bellman - it sounds very good and the pressing quality is also very nice. A great album to enjoy on vinyl.

Good sound but the pressing qualität is typical GZ. Littered with dust and paper debris, lots of crackle and a scratch made me return my copy. The seventeen seconds issue is way better. I cannot understand why GZ isn’t able to produce constant quality.

My copy arrived today, I had a hard time getting them out of the sleeves due to heavy static. I can't understand why they still put records in such sleeves. Fortunately the records are flat and the pressing is silent. Only downside are the rough... See full review

I also own a copy, I agree with you all - sounds great with low noise. But the machinehands-Label is missing, unfortunately. Nevertheless, a very recommendable version!

Me, but I carefully removed it. Cover looks fine now.

I agree, this is a very good pressing. The second LP is nonsense to me, though.

Great sounding reissue, very recommendable. Mov does great metal masterings.

Great pressing and mastering, only downside is that the lake isn’t included.

A reissue like a counterfeit. The vinyl is also warped but playable, the sound quality is ok but by far not as good as the noise remasters. This band deserves better vinyl versions.

Definitely one of the best pressings in my collection. Yes, it’s expensive but worth it.

Absolute stellar pressing, MOV did a great job again. Get it while it's available.

I cannot confirm this. My copy sounds fine and no skips at all.

I have mixed feelings. The first disc sounds well, but the second one with the bonus tracks is mastered too hot with plenty of distortion and to be honest - the tracks are far from essential. A cheaper reissue would be preferable, although I was lucky... See full review

Sounds very clear and punchy. Unfortunately I don't have an original to compare.

Mine is also of center (got the counterfeit with the blue phillips-label) but only on side 2. I can recognize it only on harmonika, but this doesn't matter so much - this track only sounds a little more stranger this way. All in all the sound and also... See full review

Like most metal remasters this one is also not perfect. Way to bright sounding, doesn't sound as I remember it. Sleeve and pressing itself is of good quality.

My copy has 2X LP2 ... need to exchange it.

My other kraftwerk reissues play also more silent compared to this one, but it is still a very good pressing. Try wet cleaning it.

I compared this release to a 90s version on Vertigo UFO-label and was never happy with this remaster. To me this mix sounded muddy with too much bass. All in all too undifferentiated. I sold my copy.

No I didn’t went through 4 copies by myself (I may be vinyl crazy but not that crazy). I exchanged it only once, then the store tested other copies before sending a third out. Also a guy in a facebook group told me about the same problem. Obviously a... See full review

I tested two copys of this album, all had minor surface noise. I had to exchange mine because of a pressing defect.
Yellow vinyl overall seems to be a bit noisy here.
