Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Pink Floyd Available Now
One of our good customers had this to say about a Hot Stamper pressing of Meddle he purchased recently:
Hi Tom,
Just a quick note about Meddle WHS. I also had an A!/B! XXX which does sound pretty good and is quiet, but this BR copy just lifted the veil.
Once I dialed in the sweet spot it was a delightful experience.
This copy is the bomb!!
Many Thanks,
Michel
Michel,
Not all A!/B!’s are created equal!
Most copies of the album with the right stampers will earn a grade of Super Hot, A++.
Some will be White Hot, A+++.
Almost all the pressings we play will have the same stamper numbers, although you may have read that we did just find another stamper for side two that can win shootouts.
Some of the difference in sound is the result of our using The Prelude Record Cleaning System, in conjunction with the Odyssey record cleaning machine we purchased in 2007 (more on that here).
Clean records sound better than they otherwise would, and properly cleaned records often sound much better than they otherwise would, oftentimes a full grade better.
Glad you liked our copy. Lifting the veil is a good way to put it. We have a list of records we found to be veiled, and you can find it here. We describe them this way:
