    Default TESTAMENT vinyl reissue , pressing quality problem or recording problem ?

    Hi While I have always been satisfied with the quality of the speakers corner and classic records vinyl reissues, I cannot say the same thing about the Testament reissues . I have purchased 7 testament vinyl reisssue . Since many original are expensive , i could say that from my point of view , although they are not as faithful as the speakers corner , They are 80% listenable , but I must say that I bought one " The beethoven violin concerto with kogan /silvestri which was truly unlistenable . I'd say violin still ok , But The orchestra was as pure FOG . At this point I ask some who Know the quality of testament records : It's a recording problem or the control quality of Testament is poor ?

    I'm familiar with Speakers Corner as well as other small vinyl reissue producers, but Testament are new to me.

    Sorry I can't be of any help - maybe other Members here can offer their opinion and advice.

    None of this is helping Roberto with his problem.

    If the recording was old, the perceived quality of the reissues could be down to the technology used at the time of recording, and to how the recording was kept.

    I can only suggest Roberto contacts Testament records to discuss the matter.

    The fogginess may be down to digitization somewhere along the line which is one of the reasons
    I stopped buying new vinyl because lots are just the same digitized sounds that go to CD etc
    put onto vinyl.
