It's not a question of my equipment which I'm well familiar with.....I'm listening to the (supposedly HQ) vinyl on my high quality system including nice reference speakers with a flat frequency response which bring out the true natural sound of most recordings......99% of my records sound awesome with my amp set flat but The Eternal is completely lacking in upper-mid and treble frequencies. Its the only album in my large collection that requires me to turn the treble all the way up just to get a reasonable sound.
This seems beyond merely going for anologue "warmth".....and other recent indie rock releases I've picked up on HQ vinyl manage to have creamy warm sound with all the treble frequencies in tact . To satisfy my curiousity I downloaded the mp3s and its the same muddy sound, only in crappier mp3 quality.
Mind you, it sounds pretty good once the treble is cranked, but I shouldn't have to do that.
