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.”
"They have the most valuable information advantage and historical knowledge of anybody in the world on LP’s that fit their model." Good grief...nice plug. Lets all shill for Better Records! There's nothing special about what Better Records does. Buy 20 copies Aja AB 1006 and listen for the best condition/sounding one. No hate on the guy, he had a vision and it sells. Some of the "sizzle" hype /superlatives is nonsense, but clearly, it's working for him.

Do I have to pay an annual membership to be part of the Golden Ear Club? When I read about $900 LPs I want to scream "Stop The Madness". But wait, why not just start buying all your records from https://electricrecordingco.com/ who are producing brand new limited edition pressing from the original tapes for the low cost of +/- $500 each? I know it's your money and I have zero right to tell you how to spend it. But be honest. Don't you get just a little embarrassed even talking about $500 records? 🤔 |
