Churd Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 All the editions of PG that I've owned sound like tin - no bottom end at all which is a shame. Can anyone suggest the best sounding reissue? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8rat Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 what medium(record or cd)? what are you playing it through? adjusting the eq will typically bring out characteristic that seem to not be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Hermit Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 It never was an audiophile production (a lot of people thought the original release sounded muddy overall), but the new remaster sounds absolutely terrific. As far as bottom end goes, 'Kashmir', for example, never really had it to begin with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmywalnutz Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I've had that problem with boots. Depending on your system or EQ you can bring the bottom up. If your system has pre-set equalization choices it will be tough. Since I started collecting/downloading boots I bought a component EQ (nothing crazy, middle of the road Harmon Kardon). I have a lot of fun with it. I first used used it on the 3.17.73 tape from an EV source and through trial and error I found the right mix. Voila, bass and bass drum. I played with mid range for snare drums but I'm not an engineer and never got the sound I imagined. The re issues are are great sounding. Official releases, I just use the component for an amp of sorts and boost everything equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatOne Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I've noticed speakers can lie, something that may sound great on 1 radio isnt going to sound the same on the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathington Willoughby Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I was hoping the op had found a topless woman on the album cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'm testing the 'Super Deluxe'. In the CD Nº1 'The Rover': When Robert is singing, before the Jimmy's guitar solo, it sounds like a "background sea" noise... it doesn't last long, just a few seconds. Does anybody have the same "problem"? Anyway, I don't think it's so drastic to as return the box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
