Rush" DMM is awesome.

Awesome Im checking this out! Thanks for the info.

Is it better just because it's a NEW LP?

I believe we think a new reissue is "better"  momentarily because there isn't any ticks/noises in the quiet passages of an album. 2112 has a lot going on, so if you don't have a near perfect copy, you're gonna hear it.

No R&R RI's for me. Been let down too many times. That led me to being a period press snob.
I also think there is a more "organic" sound to them. Just a subjective call.

Let's be honest, we don't REALLY know how "authentic analog" those RI's are. If it sounds  better to you, then it is.

I'm fortunate to have both a Canadian  SRM-1-1079 and a domestic promo "Not for sale"
The US demo copy is perfect, and the Canadian has random stitches that could probably use a good ultrasonic cleaning if I had one.

For years I had to put up with crappy $3 finds until I struck gold finding the demo copy. The Canadian press I "just had to have" because I like to have a bands country of origin original presses.

Enjoy it-LOUD!
