thank you guys @drbond @mijostyn , I noticed significant differences between the same albums from different labels but never such a unique and annoying sound as RCA Victor. Instruments just sound like throwing forks together. I somehow thought old and major label meant decent quality as they didn't yet know how to screw it up
RCA Victor records' quality
I just bought three old records, I guess all the way from the mid and late 1950s. They each sound very harsh and "shrieky". I wonder if it's the way they were meant to sound? The records themselves are in great shape.
Should I rely on tone controls or is it how music was produced and published back then? Namely Elvis' first few albums?

thanks @lewm it's 33s. I guess this is not my kind of sound. |
@bigtwin probably a big part of it. A 55 year old record may have been played a 1000+ times |
