Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of The Doors Available Now
A customer wrote the following to us not long ago:
Recently I fired up my CD circuit, which does not happen very often. Once the system was warmed up I played some MoFi gold CDs.
Nothing special, but I did like the Yes Fragile CD. Actually enjoyed it. Guns and Roses Appetite was nasty… Supertramp Breakfast was nasty…
Then I read your blog on the Doors LA Woman DCC gold CD. Found I have it! Played the whole thing and I wanted more of it. That is the only CD I have ever heard that had Hot Stamper sound quality.
Dear Sir,
Steve did a great job on L.A. Woman, let me be the first to say. Of course the real thing on vinyl is even better, but it’s a great way to test how good your front end is, assuming you have a killer copy of the vinyl, something that is very unlikely to be the case but something that cannot be ruled out entirely. (Tell me your stamper numbers and I will tell you if you are close.)
I worked through a lot of changes to my system in the 90s and 2000s partly because I had CDs that sounded better in some ways than my vinyl versions of them.
That never happens now, but it took me 20 years to get there!
