Gedneil Alpeart Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Been reading some posts in the CA vs S and A thread about how a few posters think the sound quality of CA is actually worse than VT. To my ears, CA is much, much better. To, me, it is so obvious to my ears that CA has better clarity and separation than VT and cant imagine how anyone can claim the sonic production is as close to, bad as, or worse than VT. Yes, to me, CA is too loud and I certainly would have liked much better dynamic range, but as bad as VT?? No, not even close. What do you think? I did not mean to create yet another thread about sound, but want to get a sampling of opinions out there on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 CA by a fair amount. Obviously VT is just a disaster. CA has problems but not on that scale, but it's not up there with the quality of albums like Power Windows. Not even close to that. So to me it's maybe halfway between PoW and VT as far as sound quality goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Sounds problems? C'Mon WTF cares? What we have today, in our hands, is an honest effort to soar beyond what they've done in the past, and give us something new. As luck would have it...we got the best of both worlds. PS...

bluefox4000 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Well it is slightly better VT for me.....Because I CAN make it through the whole album. But.....still crappy, I had to look up the lyrics.....which is something i rarely have to do. Cause I could not understand a word ged was singing......save for a few songs. So CA is slightly better.....but still that's not saying much. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
