One of our good customers had this to say about some Hot Stampers he purchased recently:
Hey Tom,
Once again, you folks have proved that your albums are worth EVERY PENNY that you charge for them.
For years, I’ve had a couple of domestic pressings, and a “200 gram Anadisq” MOFI, of ELP’s Trilogy. Always thought the sound was pretty solid.
But I JUST finished spinning the British A+++ pressing I scored from you folks this past week, and OH MY. It absolutely CRUSHES all prior versions. It leaves the MOFI in the DUST. I mean, it’s not even close. Not subtle. Not “Well, if I listen closely, I think I MIGHT hear a difference….”
NO. It’s utterly ridiculous. I’m hearing things I’ve never heard before. Orders of magnitude better.
THANK YOU, for your dedication to optimizing the quality of listening. SUCH a great album – and sound that finally is commensurate to the quality of the musicianship. 🙂
Steve
Steve,
So glad to hear it!
I was selling MoFi records when that pressing of Trilogy came out. What a murky piece of crap that was. The cutting system they were using was a joke, and the one they have now is not much better.
Thanks for your letter.
Best, TP
