    Picked up a second hand copy of this in the bargain bin, and I am so floored by how quiet this is and what an awesome sound it has. Don't sleep on it if you see it.

    Put through a 10 minute wash then a 15 minute autocycle on my HuminGuru before being played on a Pro-ject DC Evo with Ortofon 2M Blue, through the MM phono stage of the Cambridge Audio Evo 150, to my ears though a pair of Klipsch Heresy IV.

      One of the best sounding pressing of AN@TO. Incredibly well balanced in the low frequencies.
      Get a copy of this release while You can.
