No offense, but you're conflating a trademarked and graded product "Hot Stamper" with records you have that sound good.
No offense, but you have no idea unless you’ve heard (presumably not but correct me if wrong) the poster’s records.
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
guys spending hundreds on common titles is exactly the type of thing your average record digger laughs at audiophiles about, but i absolutely do believe the people who bought em when they say they're amazing, because i myself have a small number of common records with uncommonly good sound compared to friends' copies - just luck of the draw though, i'm not rich like that. the thought of dropping 300 on a single copy of rumours (a dollar bin goodwill record anywhere in america until about 10 years ago) strikes me as totally absurd, but hey, not my money. makes perfect sense in a world of $5000 cables. there's no one right way to enjoy your music |
Once again millercarbon you attack me like I am some scared little kid in the school yard. You think that you and only you have your finger on the pulse of everything in this forum. Only you possess the knowledge that can lead us to the promised land. Let me be blunt about it, you don't ! Lets start with the term "Hot Stamper". That term has been in the industry for many years, its not trademarked. It has been know that sound quality varies from master stampers to pressing machines to vinyl mixture formulas. Your not blazing any new ground here. Why then are you telling us? Prove it. Go sell emWhy would I want to sell my record collection? What would that prove? I spent years building my collection. Many are no longer in print or hard to find. So you lost me on that point. There is another issue and I can only be blunt about it, both your ears and your system have to be up to it. We are not talking about ticks and pops. A lot of White Hots are actually pretty noisy. As Tom says repeatedly all over the site, the best sounding copy isn't always the quietest. I have lots of quieter pressings. I have none better sounding. When you get to where you can hear it you will know.Once again you are on the attack. You think I can't hear and that my system is not up to your standards so I am not able to disseminate my findings about records that I listen to. I have excellent hearing and my system is up to it. I am not like some people who constantly brag about their system and are posting pictures and telling people to go look at my great system. People like that sound desperate for approval to me. I have spent many years building up my system. I consider my room high end. I am north of 250K. So I think I can hold my own on what sounds good. When your system improves- as hopefully it will over the years- I think the difference between your better than average pressings and your genuine Hot Stampers will grow increasingly clear.Sir I am way beyond that statement. I know what great sound is. I own it. I don't think you know what great sound is. Someone has to tell you that this album sound great. You think you know it all, go tell Chad Kassem or Michael Hobson or Bernie Grundman that they don't know the first thing about remastering a record. Let us know how you make out. |
I dug out a two-record set tonight that I haven't played in years. I highly recommend this record and hope you find a copy that sounds as good as the one played tonight: https://www.ebay.com/itm/194204735483?hash=item2d378117fb:g:r1QAAOSwbvxgyjrw Frank |
