New Model Army - Summer Moors - Vinyl rip - Grado Opus 3

Why does it sound like a V-shaped EQ is applied?

Not sure I'm hearing that, but if there is any imbalance in the sound it could be any number of things: the mastering and / or quality of the vinyl pressing, the effect of KZbin compression on the original 16/48k WAV recording, or perhaps the character of the Opus 3 cartridge (next time I'm doing some recordings I might do another rip using the Dynavector). Whatever it might be it's certainly not any post-recording manipulation on my part.

@@needledrophq9211 It would be interesting to make sure this is not the cartridge, if you'll be so kind. Cause there is no midrange for my ears. And this is similar to your other vids with that Grado. So, that's not a mastering of a vinyl

@@sc0or Sure, next time I'm doing some new rips I'll redo a couple of the ones done with the Opus 3 so a comparison can be made. It may be a while though as I don't usually do more than one ripping session every 4-6 weeks.
