I'm really tempted to try comparing one from BR against one of my original pressings that I find to be exceptional. Gonna need to keep an eye open for one that would be a good comparison. Mostly just for curiosity's sake.
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.”

I bought my MFSL copy of MFBP back in the mid-80's so it was definitely the 1-039 version. Not being very knowledgeable about MFSL, I thought all of their stuff was half-speed mastered. The copy I got from Better Records is an EMI/Capitol (ST 2955), made in UK. I didn't find much info about it. Now ya got me going on that box set. I'll probably have to get that one! |
Check the deadwax on your copies. You want to start with this one https://www.discogs.com/release/1282796-Heart-Dog-Butterfly The hard part is finding the quiet copy. |
