Tom is first and foremost an opportunist... he saw a niche market with a high disposable income that will pay for anything commissioned the best...even if unfounded...so Port has managed to find some stellar copies of some of the best selling lps of all time...guess what...so have many...myself included... Although it has taken me years...but that's the appeal..finding a diamond in the rough on your own accord ...some people can't or don't want to do the leg work...and that's up to them...and to be fair...he does offer a money back guarantee...and reports are his products are of merit...but he has somehow mystified the process while touting his "hot stamper" rhetoric ...and along with exorbitant prices...kinda ruined the fun of it...he also was a proponent of DCC recordings but changed his stance...bit ofca charlatan move.
