33 1/2 compared to 45 rpm ????

Thank You so much Raul. Well explained.

I'm really enjoying those new Music Matters Blue Note releases and at $50 a piece are much cheaper than trying to find an old deep groove with little surface wear

the sonics are stellar - you really feel you are in the recording room on those ones

the only thing I hate about 45 rpm is there's a lot more records to clean (three step process on a Loricraft 10 minutes a record)

Very interesting, thanks Raul. I must've had luck then, or I should just compare more often!

I must say that most of my 45rpm's are pretty new releases, that might explain a few things. I'm listening to and am being stunned by Music Matters for example, but also to some of the older 1-sided Classic Records' 45 Series (which I find wildly better than the 33rpm's they released later).

I haven't heard many of the Fantasy 45 series by Analogue Productions unfortunately. Most of the ones I want are sold out and near-impossible to find. I've been looking for the 45rpm Saxophone Colossus by Sonny Rollins for some time, missed one at over $300 on eBay.. Surely it's not _that_ good, or is it? I have the older DCC LP which I find astonishing. Anyone knows if the AP 45rpm is better?

For audiotomb. More records to clean. STOP GETTING EM DIRTY.

i know own a few 45's. The recording engineers and everyone did there job so yes it sounds GREAT.
