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

Very interesting, thanks Raul. I must've had luck then, or I should just compare more often!

I must say that most of my 45rpm's are pretty new releases, that might explain a few things. I'm listening to and am being stunned by Music Matters for example, but also to some of the older 1-sided Classic Records' 45 Series (which I find wildly better than the 33rpm's they released later).

I haven't heard many of the Fantasy 45 series by Analogue Productions unfortunately. Most of the ones I want are sold out and near-impossible to find. I've been looking for the 45rpm Saxophone Colossus by Sonny Rollins for some time, missed one at over $300 on eBay.. Surely it's not _that_ good, or is it? I have the older DCC LP which I find astonishing. Anyone knows if the AP 45rpm is better?

For audiotomb. More records to clean. STOP GETTING EM DIRTY.

i know own a few 45's. The recording engineers and everyone did there job so yes it sounds GREAT.

I guess I got lucky, I got the whole AP fantasy 45 series and all the MM bluenotes so far and all have been fine. Every time I plop one on I smile because Im getting the best out of the system I sweated to buy and build.

And I just got their 180g 45rpm of Ry Cooder and VM Bhatt's "A Meeting by the River."

Holy moly! It's the new sonic crown jewel in my LP (or would this be EP) library.
