More Hot Stamper Testimonial Letters
What Exactly Are Hot Stamper Pressings?
Hi Tom,
Just wanted to give you a big thank you for the commentary on turntable tweaking. I constantly learn important advice on the audiophile subject from your website. I check it everyday.
Lately I have been thinking my audio sound was lacking. It didn’t sound as good as I remember it. After reading the turntable tweaking advice, I reset up the tonearm. VTF, VTA, and azimuth.
I have “magic” in my sound now.
Listened to some Neil Young, [Ten Years After] A Space in Time. Very Tubey.
Listened to my Miles Davis Kind of Blue. It sounded better than I ever heard it. I’m sitting in shock!
The killer was Chicago 2. I love 25-6-to 4 so I was blown away and normally I’m not interested in the rest of that side of the album but I sat through the rest of it and was enthralled by the vocals. Memories of Love is one track I was never interested in but it sounded so good I loved it.
When you want to listen to every record in your collection, you know you’ve done something right.
Anyway I want you to know we audiophiles appreciate the time you take to put up your advice and commentaries. I just got a huge upgrade and it didn’t cost me a cent. Only some time and I learned a little more.
Thanks a bunch,
Steve E.
Steve,
You are more than welcome!
