The vinyl box is a real asset in terms of the sound of old Springsteen discs. In particular, the old (first) Springsteen albums to Nebraska sound almost unbelievably good. Extreme low noise coupled with clear and vivid picture of the instruments, what else I can only find in jazz discs. As the sound engineer / Remaster Toparbeit has delivered !!! The "Born In The USA" - drive against drops somewhat. Each plate in the 180g version (ok, which is not always what needs hot!). I had only old CD variants to compare, but which are phonetically sound a disaster against this dream vinyl discs.
