    Sounds kinda strange, like something is missing. Mine is not dynaflex, just regular weight vinyl.

      This particular pressing has incredible 'terrible' shunting of frequency dynamics. Worst I have seen on any LP so far that I have viewed with Sonograph 24bit digital tools.. around 19KHZ it shunts and nothing beyond that. It's super quiet pressing..so this is why. Thin Dynaflex type pressing.
