Title: Blade Runner soundtrack coming to vinyl!
Post by: BSD2000 on March 27, 2013, 07:11:48 PM
Blade Runner Mastering with Kevin Gray in studio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R0DSM1DLks#)

Audio Fidelity is set to release the Blade Runner movie soundtrack on vinyl with music by Vangelis; sourced from 88k/24bit full bandwidth digital audio files.

I have a few Audio Fidelity CD releases in my collection and overall, they are usually much better than the CD - but some of them have sibilance issues in the 8khz ~ 12khz range. I don't have any of their vinyl releases so I don't know if they have similar issues.

Anyone have any experience with Audio Fidelity vinyl releases?

I've got no Audio Fidelity vinyl, but Kevin Grey is a super skilled mastering engineer. I've got some rips of vinyl reissues mastered by him and they're all superb.

to my surprise, i just got the shipping confirmation for the pre-order price.

(given the limited amount i thought amazon.ca might not have enough copies as they kept pushing back the release)

Awesome! Ok, I'm jealous.    :)

How does it sound?

It does sound very dynamic.
Lot of low level content, your woofers will get a good workout.

On the first play i got quite a few clicks and pops.   I had this already on other recent pressings, but in some cases it went away after a few plays. So i wait and see if it improves.
