The sealed LP... what is the point?
I have a couple of records i'll never open. One is Muddy Waters "Folk Singer" on MFSL Vinyl. Another is "Fresh Cream" by Cream on the DCC label. My vinyl copy has additional bonus tracks that aren't supposed to be on the album. Very few were sold.

Looking for insight on the Green Mountain Europas
Italian,while 200 hours sounds like a lot of time, the Europa's become very seductive at around 1000 hours. Much smoother midrange. I echo the above statements with the exception of the comment about vocal quality....in my opinion, this is where t...
