anyone have any experience with the SRX vinyl?

according to music matters: "Its noise floor is fathoms lower than any other vinyl we know of out there past or present.... near-perfect silence of SRX Vinyl virtually frees the music from groove noise..."

all the music matters reissues have really upped my interest in analog.

Can't offer first hand experience since the commercial SRX releases haven't shipped to me yet. I pulled this excerpt from a post a beta user made relating his/her listening experience of a Music Matters Jazz SRX test pressing of Joe Henderson's Inner Urge:

"This new SRX vinyl is going to be a treat for those of us that like to listen on headphones - you hear some pretty remarkable details that maybe were buried underneath the noise floor before, but now are present. Subtle details like the shimmer of bass strings vibrating against the fingerboard on really dynamic passages, fluttering finger pads, studio room and spacial cues, intense front to back layering in the soundstage, and even little studio murmurings under the breath of the musicians are all present and clear to hear. It’s just so much easier to pinpoint exactly where everything is placed, it really adds more to the enjoyment of the musical experience when your mind doesn’t have to work so hard!

You’d think with all this detail, that maybe it would be too much, and actually bring the tonal balance brighter. Not with the two TP’s I have - they are more related tonally to the 45’s than the 33’s, and have that same smooth, rich, flowing tonality that I know a lot of us appreciate about the 45’s. I don’t have the 45 of inner urge to compare, but when contrasted with my copy of mode for Joe, I’m confident in saying these easily match the dynamics and sense of flow and togetherness of the 45 series, but with absolute zero groove noise that I can detect on headphones at uncomfortable volumes"

Again, this comes with the disclaimer that I don't know the reviewer, nor am I familiar with his/her room, system, or ears. So, cum grano salis.
