33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better

It’s a crap shoot (I would think).
Maybe get them both and put the less liked one onto Disc cogs?

How much are they?

It all depends on many factors but I can tell you I have more great sounding 45 cut LPs than 33.

If it were a two-record set for the 45 rpm recording, I would expect that to be slightly better.  The reason for 45 rpm albums is for the higher quality (grooves with not as tight turns on the wiggles).  But, if both are done to just two sides, you have to now factor in disadvantages of 45 rpm.  The 45 would require closer spacing of the grooves, or lower cutting level, or cutting closer to the label, or a combination of these compromises.  My guess is that it will be cut much closer to the label.  This means playing where the stylus is farthest from the ideal of perfect tangency to the groove.

+1, @holmz …..You won’t know until you compare both side by side. I just looked at specs on both records. The 45RPM Lacquer cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio so 45RPM should be slightly superior sounding. And the 33 1/3-rpm version presented on Limited Edition Pumpkin-Shaped Translucent Orange Vinyl…both are reasonably priced, heck why not buy both 😊

PS: You didn’t say anything about your analog setup, does your system allows you to discern differences between 33 1/2 and 45 RPM vinyls? 

In theory, the higher speed pressing should sound truer to the master, as with tape speed. 15 inches per second sounds closer to the source tan 7.5 ips. But with records, you may not want to have a 2 record set or get up every 10 minutes to turn them over. Personally, I prefer 33.3 pressings in general. Or if you love the music that much, just buy both for fun. Plenty of people have multiple copies of the same recordings
