Don't often post on here but interesting thread about BR. I don't think I'd ever pay more than $100 for a record, even if I could afford it. But I learned that my first pressing of Aja may be worth $500? Crazy..... It's the AB 1006 issue that I bought right off the delivery truck at the wholesale record and tape whse I worked at in '77. It's still pristine and has been cleaned every play. Jacket has some wear but that's cool.... The BR prices seem to justify the 'law of diminishing returns' phrase. Guess if you're running a $50k system, you might notice a difference. But then you don't have 50 other copies to compare to like BR does. Just my thoughts....
Better Records vs MoFi
I’ve read about Better Records on the site. They listen to endless copies of records & separate out the amazing sounding pressings. I can understand because of many variables, some sound better than others. But, can a great sounding regular pressing sound better than a half speed master? Doesn’t a HSM have more music data on it?
I don’t want to go down a rabbit hole. If the BR premise holds up then there are certainly better pressings of Dark Side of the Moon etc. I’m not concerned with that. I’m also not interested in cost or “X sucks, I’d never buy one.”
