33 vs 45 speed quality

Csmithbarc, despite all the somewhat off topic discussion, I would have to say that I have not done one comparison of 33.3 and 45 rpm recording where the 45 was not clearly superior. This has caused me to invest hundreds of dollars in duplicates where 45s are available.

If you have friends with vinyl capability, I would visit them and compare 33.3 and 45s there, but beware, if you much prefer 45s, as I do, getting a resolving system and buying many 45s, some of which are out-of-print, is expensive.

Eldartford, that may well be but the question is why he doesn't hear an improvement. Just to once again check last evening I played three instances where I have 45 rpm, 33.3 rpm, and cd versions. No contest once again, and I will continue to buy all the 45s I can find even though their short duration gives me too much exercise.

Yea, my father had a Capehart changer that even flipped the records. I am not sure it did the record surface any good, however.
