  • Vinyl Quality Concerns

    4 out of 5 stars
    Tagugwifhb30 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    The vinyl I have has a few small pops and clicks during the softer sections, so it's not entirely silent (like the recent Tone Poets, for instance). I'm not sure if it's worth trying another copy. My scale says the vinyl weighs 120g. Where is this series pressed at?

  • Seeking AAA Confirmation

    5 out of 5 stars
    KurQumiv42525 August 2025United States🇺🇸

    Does anyone happen to know if these are AAA? I'm not sure they are, but I've ordered a copy anyways.

  • High-End Audio Flaws

    4 out of 5 stars
    xirde493 August 2025United States🇺🇸

    All in all, it's quite good, but not flawless because of certain background noises and ticks. Given that it's part of the high-end Luminessence series and comes with a hefty price tag, the audio quality could definitely be improved.

  • Warm Sound, Dirty Vinyl

    5 out of 5 stars
    gpuxcm25 May 2025United States🇺🇸

    Audio quality is fantastic: spacious, rich in bass, and generally 'warm'. It's just a pleasure to listen to! The vinyl was extremely dirty - full of paper dust, hairs, and whatnot. Even after three rounds with the vacuum, there's still some noise, particularly in quiet parts, but I can live with it. All in all, I'm pleased with the record. Though, I feel the price is a bit steep compared to single-disc Tone Poets, which offer better pressings for nearly the same cost.

  • Great Sound, Odd Packaging

    5 out of 5 stars
    siml.toamoo.9424 March 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm right there with the others on this one. The paper dust is a bit odd, and it's strange that there's no mention of the series on the product itself...but the sound quality is fantastic, and I'm really pleased. I have a feeling I'm going to love collecting this series.
