DCC Analog LP Pressing on 180 Gram Virgin Vinyl

The DCC Original Master 180+ Virgin Analog Masterpieces were pressed using the Vintage Vacuum-Tube Playback System. These Limited Edition (Out of Print) Pressings were limited to 5,000 pieces (except Presley's 24-Karat Double LP - 10,000), but an act of God destroyed a majority of these pressings thus making these pressing some of the most sought after ever by the Audiophilist.

The DCC 180+ Gram Virgin Vinyl LPs were plated with lacquers on the same day as cutting (pressing) using a slow, low temperature both to minimize groove echo and loss of frequency information. The result is the best sounding series of LPs in history with all Liner Notes, Photos, and Artwork faithfully recreated from the Original LP.

One of the highly regarded re-do’s of Aqualung was issued by DCC in 1997 and re-mastered by Steve Hoffman.

 

It is the virtual opposite of the old Mo-Fi in overall balance:

 Far from being heavy or thick sounding, the record packs punch and in some cases, bests the WLP discussed above. When I compared the DCC to the WLP on a number of cuts, back to back, the WLP sounded a little harsher, but also packs punch. On the DCC, “My God” has real weight to the piano (finally)[5] and the cymbal splashes are easier to discern. There is also some “breath” to the flute. Flipping back to the WLP, the latter isn’t as “warm” sounding, and my personal preference would probably give the nod to the DCC, but the WLP has great texture on the acoustic guitars and when Martin Barre’s Les Paul blazes in, you know it! The DCC is long out of print, but you see copies for sale online.
