It seems to me (I haven't bought a CD player yet..) that one of the nice things about CD's is that a Japanese "pressing" should be exactly the same as an American one (of the same digitized recording). That is, one shouldn't need to hunt around for "imported pressings" to get the best sound. Has anyone had the chance to compare? __Rich Rosenbaum

There are very few CDs actually made in the US. Production has only very
recently started. Most of what you see on "domestic" labels are made in
Japan or Europe.

In the world of LV discs, you can usually count on Japanese pressing being perfect. The early USA pressings were consistently awful and the manufacturer(s) rightfully went out of business. Now that USA manufacturers have adopted Japanese production techniques (like keeping the production facility CLEAN), the quality of the USA LV pressings seems to be on a par with Japan. -- Ward | |||||
