Audiophile Albums....Yes indeed

Third one. Well it figures. NPC.

Look if you have an extra $300 to $500 and want to hear some really good records a White Hot Stamper is totally the way to go.

That Times article is a joke by the way.

In what way is the NYT article a joke?I wouldn't by either a Hot Stamper or on of the new British LPs, but if it came down to it, I'd go for the brand new British pressing, if I could verify that the master tape had not deteriorated a priori.  And maybe you get one of Mr Hutchinson's beard hairs for free in the bargain.

What is NPC?

I didn't read all the article but thought the subject interesting. Only audiophiles would buy such things. I'd try one if I had that kind of $$$. I may 1st try the hot stamper. I can at least get my $$$ back. So nothing lost....maybe. Plus I don't listen to "classical" that much.

2nd thread on the same subject.
