Regarding the presentation of all the previous speakers have said what is needed, there's nothing to add. Have the plates ordered because the package does not cost a landslide over a whole as the complete existing CCR plates by individual Neupressungen or good used. Right away: The pressures are good, with the price you have to be aware that there are trade-offs on the one point or another, the first one I noticed is that inner sleeves made of paper that a) hairlines to have the vinyl surface cause (you can not hear) and b) scraps of paper left on the plate (that would be heard, need not be). So make sure you clean the plates (or to clean) and stuck in quickly lined inner sleeves. As the plates sound now? Better than the old, bad? You sound different ... I think ... They sound perfect, unobtrusive, clean. And I ask myself, "I want that"? Have 4 old french pressings (America) and two of them are perfect, one has small, audible scratches. The perfect were really expensive, the good with the few scratches could be called "bargain". And if I had to choose between the Neupressungen and the old, I would keep the old, without that I would presume to justify the objective. To avoid misunderstandings: The package provides for 109 really good value for money and a top quality, always at lengths can all CDs behind. So if you like good music in a solid quality and have no desire to make the flea markets of the Republic unsure, you can buy the plates without hesitation. But people who (now I belong to the past I would have myself called "spinner") to hear the differences between different shots, different productions and different pressures, should even visit the second-hand record shop of their choice prior to purchase and (if present) in the old (good, what is good, tells a good record shop ...) listen recordings, may be that you find exactly what is right for oneself. Have recently incidentally a Portuguese pressure from the seventies is one that was not too bad ... Conclusion? Buy plates is determined a "question of money," but in addition also to a large extent a matter of taste. And because it's different for everyone, you should hold back with "Kaufempfehlungs- and infallible quality assessment postulates" a little. It is clear that one: I would in any case no one dissuade the purchase of the box, but it is in fact too good ...
