Phil Shields Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 audiophile lps are usually great sound quality. pressed on heavy 180/200gm vinyl and mastered from the original tapes. mobile fidelity released loads of great jazz and blues. muddy waters folk singer springs to mind. there are a few 12" singles but i've never seen a 7" audiophile single. some of the LPs do play at 45rpm though. i've loads of jazz LPs and they do sound great.

Audiophile recording can refer to half speed mastering or direct to disk recording but to note any difference you need a fairly expensive sound system.

Only Dreaming Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I thought audiophiles were old men who rang up kids and talked dirty An audiophile, from Latin audio "I hear" and Greek philos "loving," is a hobbyist who seeks high-quality audio reproduction via the use of non-mass-produced high-end audio electronics. Hope this helps. Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
