@rauliruegas R. I understand from your posts that you own thousands of LP music. I only have a few hundred of my "wanted" albums, but I haven't been collecting as long as yourself. What are you going to do with all of your collection, and of obvious quality, when you pass. It is an inconvenient question, but one I have been to confront, but how do you enjoy each? Is it the quest of owning quality that gives you pride, equal with hearing the sound each plays? I would dearly love to own and enviable collection, to select any music that one wants to hear. Wonderful! I truly envy you and your library. I also equally enjoy your contributions. Thanks R.
Audiophile LP's
That title sounds pretty general but I didn't know how else to name it to attract some attention. For several decades in the production of vinyl the sound quality has widely varied due to recording process, pressing, and other factors. I remember years ago that some commonly available LP's were also available in a much higher quality (and a higher price) than the standard LP and offered superior sound quality. Can't remember all the terms to describe these records but direct-to-disk, master recording, and probably a few others I can't recall. Back then I never purchased any of those since when the needle dropped and music was there what else mattered? To buy a record at 2 or 3 times the standard price didn't make sense to anyone I knew at the time.
My question....I know that numerous sellers on the web list LP's for sell as "mastered", "audiophile", and the like. Back in the day were current sellers offering these truly superior records just trying a ripoff? If not, are most of the ones still in existence only are owned by private collectors?
