Funny this would be brought up. Over the weekend my pals and I compared the Mofi Original Master Copy vinyl vs the half speed remaster vinyl vs the Mofi SACD vs the Qobuz version of Brothers in Arms. Our group decided the Mofi vinyl was slightly better than the half speed remaster but both the Mofi vinyl and half speed remaster are significantly better than the other options.
Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch?
I just purchased a Dire Straits Brothers in Arms half speed master. I'm using a Pioneer PL530 TT. Can this album be played successfully on my TT? I put it on 45 rpm but there is no way to tell if it is spinning at the right speed. The speed control is working but not keeping a steady reading like when I play a normal 33 record. It sounds good but I'm wondering if they should be played on a different table. Also is it worth it to pay extra money for these? I payed 50$ for this album. Thanks for any information.
