All my half speed masters are slow
Half-Speed Masters - are they worth double dipping?
I have pretty much read all that being said online, what is your personal experiences with half-speed mastered records. I see a growing trend in lot of re-issues now being sold with half-speed mastering.
The two records I am interested in are,
Ed Sheeran’s X -10 Anniversary and Police - 30th Anniversary Greatest Hits.
One good thing is, they are reasonably priced and under $50 :-)

Of course not. It’s just a manufacturing process. The same is true of CD - a CD itself is no guarantee of dynamic range.
I’ve never seen one shred of evidence that anyone has ever suggested such a thing. Red herring.
I provided you some references and suggested you measure some of your own. As I suggested, you might be be surprised that it is not uncommon.
Well there’s the Loudness Wars. And as @inagroove pointed out, CDs were often intended for use in cars, where lower DR could actually be beneficial. On the other hand LPs today are often marketed towards audiophiles through places like Acoustic Sounds and Music Direct. So whether you acknowledge it or not, there are "logical" reasons why LPs often have better DR than comparable CDs.
No one here needs to provide evidence to your satisfaction. You’ve been offered specific examples and guidance for how to learn more. |

I'm not seeing any "vinyl adoration" going on here. There do seem to be some who are troubled by the LP's resilience, though. As for religion: It is a mistake to conclude that religion is inherently inconsistent with reason. To suggest otherwise is simple prejudice. |
