"Very thorough." I omitted details about the rest of the system(s) as it should have no impact on record making circles. The plan is to do that comparison with a friend of mine (he is the owner of Pioneer and Ortofon 2M Red) at his place. millercarbon is invited, if he can get to the Mid-Atlantic area by mid-week. Of course, if Carol manages to deliver the record by Tuesday. In fact, anyone in good spirit can join. Space is limited and there is Coton de Tulear always fighting for the sweet spot. EDIT: Oooops, I forgot about Coronavirus. Well, not to be the one to walk away from invitation, we can figure something out. Some measures. |
Glupson - do make sure those are double blind listening sessions, won’t you? Nobody wants to pay a $250 premium for placebo effects. I’m sure a $10 premium is all that is needed to trigger the “I paid more for that copy and I am told by the retailer that it sounds better and I think they are right and I can hear better sounds” But if a double blind produces and unambiguous vote for the WHS, then we have all learned some valuable things, including: - sifting through multiple pressings to find the best one or two is worthwhile. - there is a fee to pay for that legitimate service if someone is to do it for you. - when you buy vinyl other than through such a value-added route, you don’t know what quality you are getting, and most importantly: - the more of these services there are, the less likely it is you will find gems at normal prices. - as the cream is lifted out for premium resale, the quality of what remain will as an average do down. |
