I have well over 100 HSM's & have been collecting them since the '70's.
1) They are made from virgin vinyl = Much less surface noise & less pops & clicks..
2) They are cut at half speed = 16 2/3 RPM = A tad deeper groove.
3) Yes - They all do sound better - I have almost every title on both formats - Standard & Half Speed Master.
4) You get what you pay for!
5) ENJOY!
