  • Confirm ARCD8226 Runout

    5 out of 5 stars

    Can someone confirm my runout is ARCD8226 9/91 1DA12?

  • Fantastic Album, Great Sound Quality

    4 out of 5 stars
    bodq893022 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album is fantastic! I grabbed this second-hand copy and after giving it a spin through the Spin Clean and a 20-minute soak in the ultrasonic cleaner, it sounds incredible. The highs are sparkling, the mids are punchy, and the bass is full and rich.

  • Poor Quality Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    mucjupkoc9120 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    The pressing is really good, it's quiet and clear, that's the only positive thing about this version. Both sides of mine have "side 1" labels and the cover print is terrible.

  • Must-Have APP Album

    4 out of 5 stars
    odwoedkoegnd19 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album is fantastic, so good that I couldn't resist buying two copies. It's a bit of an underrated treasure, but definitely one you should consider when building any APP sub collection.

  • Fantastic Noise-Free Audio

    4 out of 5 stars
    WRRWofp17 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    My unit is completely noise-free and sounds fantastic. The audio is a tad reserved and might be richer but all in all, it's a fantastic pair.
