![]() So that 2010 remaster is basically an exaggerated version of the original DMM's EQ flavor. Also it sounds a touch wider, most noticeably the far-side reverbs and room sound being a lil' more apparent. The CD obviously then has a touch less lows, maybe only 1 to 2db from 200hz and down, at the most, and is a touch more crisp and detailed in the top end. ![]() CD, and a little more forward in the center/recessed on the sides (which could very be a result of the vinyl master possibly having the lows below 80 or 100hz summed to mono before the lows/low-mids were bumped up using a shelf.) But still all-in-all very similar to the CD. So yeah, interesting result! The old DMM was clearly a touch bigger in the lows and mids as compared to the original U.S. ZU VERKAUFEN The Cure-Disintegration Vinyl Picture Disc Near mint condition. Once I made those amendments to the CD master they sounded nigh identical. THE CURE DISINTEGRATION Vinyl Picture Disc - EUR 108,08. A decent low end boost is on that DMM master, as well as about a 1db bump up near 1kHz, and a high shelf ducking out about 3db of top end, starting from 5kHz and upwards. The vinyl absolutely had the mid-channel louder/more forward than the sides, compared to the cd, so it feels a little less wide. I gained the vinyl up by 5.76 db to match the avg loudness and peaks to the CD, so to not be fooled by volume differences. So I had about 10 mins to at least throw the ol' CD and this here DMM vinyl rip at eachother. including some of the newer MoFis, which typically get high marks around here.Ĭlick to expand.To whom it may concern: My setup has plenty of bass already, and I've very sensitive to "low end bloat," which seems to occur on a lot of reissues. And of course, if your system is bass-shy, the newer Disintegration cuts probably sound better. So that might be why I prefer the '89 cut over the newer pressings. That said, my personal preference is DMM vinyl cut from the original analog tapes over new vinyl cut from digital files. (Particularly Hysteria, which is flat and compressed in the newest pressing. I've also found the newer reissues of the same, despite being split over 2 records, tend to lose something in the mastering. All these are DMMs approaching 30 minutes a side, and in every case, you need to find a VERY clean player and crank it, but I find all of the above sound REALLY good given those limitations. Others would include Def Leppard's Hysteria and King's X's Faith Hope Love. TBH, needle drops don't give me the same rush as listening to the actual vinyl, and I suspect the original '89 CD would sound just as good if you're listening to digital files.ĭisintegration is one of those albums where the vinyl is tricky due to the extreme side lengths. If whats needed is only claustrophobic, blinds-drawn bleakness, there are early minimalist offerings from The Cure that hardly presaged the grandeur of 1989s 'Disintegration,' a magnum opus so musically and emotionally expansive that it seemingly conjures a wide-openness of oceans and peaks. I feel like there's probably a drop of the '89 DMM lurking around somewhere on the web, maybe?.
