MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL

Better Records Is providing a service - reviewing many records and choosing the best of the lot.  The time spent plus having to dispose of the rest of the vinyl one would expect a substantial higher price to cover these costs plus time and effort.  

For some, the uptick in sonics is worth the price, others maybe not so much.  But it’s better to have options than not.

@daveyf -
in an ideal world it would be great to get the best vinyl of the lot that sounds ideal in your specific system to you, but this option is not very feasible.

So yes, Better Records is using their audio chain and using their own criteria to choose vinyl. Isn’t that what audio reviewers do anyhow? All that we can rely on is assuming they have developed sufficient expertise at least thru volume vinyl reviewing and also thru customer reviews/feedback. I believe they couldn’t stay in business unless offering a significant uptick in sound quality enough to justify the premium pricing.

Like most things audiophile, you have to pay $$ for upticks in performance
