33.3 is now superior to 45

Personally, I've always preferred 33.3 records, as I think they sound just fine and you don't have to change the record every 10 minutes. But the industry insisted that you had to have 45 rpm and that it was totally superior and that you had to have two records instead of one to clean and store. Well - guess what? Now Acoustic Sounds is telling you that their 33.3 reissues are superior to the 45s. So now you can all go out and buy another copy of Sidewinder or Dark Side of the Moon when it comes out. I just thought I would let you know so you can rush to pre-order.

I love audiophilia! We get to buy the same thing over and over and over and over again. I got the LP, then the cassette, then the CD, then the remastered CD, then the SACD, then the remastered LP, then the remastered LP in 45 rpm and now! THE REMASTERED REMASTER LP IN 33.3! I am in heaven. When is the 78 version coming out? Oh, wait, I need the download, then the hi res download, then the DSD download. I can have a whole record collection and only own one album. Yep, amazing.

HaHa, just got back from Christmas shopping. Looks like Santa got me a mint Mobile Fidelity Rolling Stones box set ( the price was very very good ), to go with my entire collection of english pressings, that I play instead of the US issues I also have. Man, I have about 2000 LP's but am starting to realize only a few dozen separate titles.

I looked at this post again after looking hard again at getting into digital download and computer audio. The final verdict, I'm done. I look at some of the on line retailers pushing digital download and DSD, it's all the same titles they were pushing for LP, CD, Sacd. So, no computer for me. I found all the software choices a pain. I just want to listen to music. If I did not have a library of music my decision may be different but for now and into the next several years, no more major changes. I am actually going to sell some records and limit what I own to only those several hundred that have a real appeal to me.
