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.”

" He does provide a service for folks with more money than sense...."

As if THIS hobby is "sensible?"

Spending a mere $500 for a WHS in the context of one's setup doesn't come off as off putting to me.

Isn't it simply how wide your wallet is in relation to one's setup?

If I were using a Tech Das Air Force One or something I commissioned with a boutique designer, I would be ordering something weekly, along with bin diving.

I'm thankful I find the very candidates BR sells, at sane prices.

I would find it offensive NOT playing a first press/A1 LP when listening to SOTA.
