Inna- I’m probably violating my own admonishment by generally characterizing the EQ of Japanese vinyl as tending toward "bright." In fairness, my observations are largely confined to pop/rock music and then, to releases of records originally issued outside of Japan from the ’70s and early ’80s, when U.S. vinyl was pretty uneven, quality wise. The peak era Floyd- were there any bad pressings? For Dead Can Dance, I’ve had very good sound from the original 4AD pressings, though the Mo-Fi of Into the Labyrinth is very good for the money. For what it’s worth, I find that a lot of newer audiophile vinyl remasters from the U.S. sound tipped up too.
