Edited one year agoI have just picked up an A7 / B8 (B6 crossed out the 8 is stamped, otherwise all etched). I have complaints, it sounds excellent, a bit surprised given the comment from XETSOF below (not clear which exact cut they have been listening as there a lot of variants under this one). It was cheap but is not junk and was enjoyable for the money (£4). The sleeve is glossy front and back and matte in the centre. I also have A7 / B9 which also sounded pretty good, the sleeve was matte throughout.
I will do a comparison to the DMM pressing and the UK RD box. -
An absolute piece of junk. Muddy sound, avoid at all costs. Only buy for the alternate artwork.
