33.3 is now superior to 45

Personally, I've always preferred 33.3 records, as I think they sound just fine and you don't have to change the record every 10 minutes. But the industry insisted that you had to have 45 rpm and that it was totally superior and that you had to have two records instead of one to clean and store. Well - guess what? Now Acoustic Sounds is telling you that their 33.3 reissues are superior to the 45s. So now you can all go out and buy another copy of Sidewinder or Dark Side of the Moon when it comes out. I just thought I would let you know so you can rush to pre-order.

Chayro and Lewm,
Yes, it's hit and miss I don't find that 45 RPM in practice is inherently superior to well implemented 33 1/3 LPs across the board . You're reduced to judging on an individual basis.

Its amazing as I find the original pressings in good shape to sound better than the reissues every time. The reissues sound a little cloudy in comparison 45 or 33 1/3.

I love audiophilia! We get to buy the same thing over and over and over and over again. I got the LP, then the cassette, then the CD, then the remastered CD, then the SACD, then the remastered LP, then the remastered LP in 45 rpm and now! THE REMASTERED REMASTER LP IN 33.3! I am in heaven. When is the 78 version coming out? Oh, wait, I need the download, then the hi res download, then the DSD download. I can have a whole record collection and only own one album. Yep, amazing.

A whole record collection with only one title. That's hilarious! Unfortunately, it's too true. I, for one, won't be fooled by another format or a remaster of the remaster. Sorry, music industry, but these marketing ploys have really gone too far.

Hi Davt,
That's funny and insightful. The good thing is this is voluntary and the choice to buy or not belongs to us the consumer. The market supplies these multiple formats and we determine the demand or need for the products.
Charles,
