    I A/B/C tested this with a 1977 Japanese press and Holland/Euro press. This US sounds the best to me. It’s really in the vocals where it shines. The dynamics of the Holland press are really stellar, but the vocals don’t pop like the US press. The packaging of the Japanese press is the best but the sound is really not as good as the US or euro press.
