I don't know, I don't dislike it but for me it's not the best pressing. I of course own the 2016 Blackedned Remaster by Chris Bellman, and while i think it is not bad, I found it over-saturated in the high frequencies and a little bit bloated in the bass, also, this album didn't need more compression. The Megaforce was "too hot to keep", someone offered more than $200 and I sold it. I had the Megaforce Ride The Lightning in my hands about a year ago (a NM 1st Frankford Wayne pressing) and I loved it, but I definitely preferred the 2LP UK 1987 DMM Music For Nation pressing and that was the one I kept. Hope this is helpful to those hesitating about what pressing to pursue.Ĭlick to expand.I could upload 3 vinyl rip versions I've done of Ride the Lightning, but the comparison would be incomplete. I have my own list of preferences about these pressings, and two important pressing are still missing on this list as I don't own the Masterdisk 1989 European pressing and the Rhino Box 2LP yet, although I've heard them and I have needeedledrops of those pressings (and I loved them both, by the way, so it I know I will own them some day) But I wanted to present needledrops made with the same rig. I think it's more convenient to know what you are listening to and then make a choice to get the pressing you like most. I could have made a riddle out of this, to identify each pressing doing a blind test but I think few people have time for that.

The signal goes in a direct path to the digital master, bypassing all unnecessary circuitry. The master is played back on a specially reconstructed vintage tube reproducer that utilizes the proper "original recording curve" technology. ![]() LP equalized tape copies and dubs are not accepted. The DCC gold mastering technique takes the first generation two-track original master and uses it to do the digital transfer. The discs themselves are custom manufactured and gold plated in 24k gold. This is a product of space age technology combined with sympathetic digital mastering techniques. DCC 24k gold discs unlike aluminum discs do not tarnish or oxidize, providing a lifetime of listening pleasure. A disc that will reproduce the sound of a "classic recorded performance" without the digital harshness and errors created by irregularities in the aluminum plated surfaces of some ordinary compact discs. ![]() The development of the DCC 24k gold collection is based on the theory that one can manufacture a perfect compact disc. ![]() The biggest difference I notice between the remaster and my CD are the symbols. I can hear that on the CD as well, though on the remaster, the hammer hit effect trailing off after the hit is clearer.
