Letter of the Week – “The whole album is a “Holy S%$*@ experience.”

More of the Music of Eric Clapton

One of our good customers had this to say about a Hot Stamper pressing he purchased recently:

Hey Guys, just listened to “Slowhand” and did you know that on “Wonderful Tonight” you can hear that the snare drum is wood, not steel?… Unbelievable!

The whole album is a “Holy S%$*@ experience.

Kevin,

Thanks for your letter, fantastic news that the pressing we sent you is resolving enough for you to hear that.

The modern Heavy Vinyl pressing is notorious (around these parts anyway) for seriously lacking resolution, but no one seems to notice but us. (Here are more than fifty titles that make our case, all of them dramatically lower-rez than the best pressings we are have played in our shootouts.)

Here’s a question we have been asking for more than 30 years: Are reviewers’ systems good enough to judge the records we offer?

Best, TP
