Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory - Because Sound Matters One-Step vs. 2024 vinyl, 2001 CD & Qobuz stream

Описание: Because Sound Matters is a new label: a new branch of the Warner Music empire created to cater for audiophiles, and the super-fans alike.

The first three releases on this label are lavish One-Step vinyl issues of the first three albums from 2000s Californian alternative rockers Linkin Park.

Made popular by MOFI - Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, One-Step vinyl process eliminates two pressing / moulding stages from LP production resulting in a notably higher fidelity. Will these Linkin Park One-Steps prove to be the ultimate versions of these iconic albums?

In order to find out, I compare the "HD" 24/48 stream from Qobuz, the original 2001 UK Compact Disc, the recently released 'regular' 2024 limited edition yellow vinyl LP release and of course the brand new, limited One-Step version.

Only 3,000 copies of these three Linkin Park One-Steps are being made, I purchased my copy direct from:

I purchased my 'regular' yellow vinyl edition from my local bricks 'n' mortar store: Raves From The Grave: https://ravesfromthegrave.com
