The sound on the Premium really is fantastic and I do love the jukebox idea and ability to select your favorite mode/song. But beyond that, still not a game for me.

This reminds me that I still need to sell my Laseriffic train topper that I never installed before selling mine. Need one?

Quoted from beelzeboob:

I'm actually pretty disappointed with the sound. I've got the thing cranked up almost to the max and it still doesn't match the volume on the WOZ and LOTR that are flanking it. Have to look into a Flipper Fidelity kit or something to crank it up.

Really? I thought ACDC Premium had the best subwoofer in it that Stern has ever used. Although next to WOZ it might get drowned out a little. I use the Polk PW10 subs on all my games now though and they sound fantastic.

Quoted from BillR:

My Pro has the same problem - sound isn't very loud and at the higher volume levels it sounds distorted and crackly. I've added ridiculous speakers and amps, same problem. I'm considering a new board for mine to see if that's the problem. Maybe a poorly built board. I'm not upset though, the game is still awesome and lightning fast.

This definitely sounds like you have an issue somewhere. I swear the sound on my AC DC was fantastic. You could crank it up with no issue and the stock sub was actually pretty decent (although as noted, I still go with the external PW10 subs because they rock.)

Quoted from pinnyheadhead:

ACDC is your number #4 rating out of almost 700 pins rated? The best rated on Pinside also. Wow!

The entire ratings system on Pinside is in SERIOUS need of being overhauled and sorry but AC/DC is more evidence of that. Terrible system that is easily abused and that which WAY too much weight is given.

Back in 2008 or so MM wasn't even in the top 10. All of a sudden in a very short period of time the ratings soared on it (and AFM to some degree) and suddenly they were at the top of the rankings (only a dozen years after it came out) and prices soared. No chance of rankings tampering there?? Hmm. Given the rise in pinball prices in general there is so much to benefit from tampering with rankings that it really needs better safe guarding and scrutiny.

Last note ... the clickety clackety dancing band of flat plastics is one of the silliest and cheapest "toys" I've seen since Rolling Stones came out.
