33 1/2 compared to 45 rpm ????

Dear Roger: This is a critical subject ( posted by Rushton ) on what you ask:

+++++ " The 45 rpm disc, all else being equal, moves " ++++

If you ask because you want to buy 45 versions of " today " good 33 ones please do it with care: many ( I can say several ) of those 45 versions are inferior ( quality performance ) over the 33 same ones. Not every thing that " shine " is gold.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

12 inch 45's sound better, but are over too soon. If you are all manual, they are a pain

Raul. Please explain further. I only buy new disks. I refuse to buy used. As in the new Matallica records. They offer em both in 33 1/5 and 45. I own not one 45. If 45 sound better then i am for purchasing the 45's.

I trust your judgement to the fullest as the same as Albert Porter but he never answers none of my threads :o( .

NOT EVERY THING THAT "SHINE" IS GOLD has me confused.

Raul, that's interesting, can you please cite some examples where a 33rpm version bests a 45rpm version - of the same recording I mean?

That goes against everything I've experienced so I'm intrigued to learn what you have found. :)
