Hi
I have recently installed a Beogram for the first time since late 80's - for fun anf test compared to Deezer HiFi.
Maybe I missed the latest development in LP technology, as I changed to Cd's, but something strange happens to me yesterday ?
I bought a brand new LP from Deep Purple - Infinity.
Went home quickly to listen ...what is going on here... Is my Beogram broken (a used one of course, but it sound strange...
It turns out, the I had to change the speed to 45 playing an LP (normally 33).
Is this a new way of making better quality in terms of bringing more out of the LP running 45 on an LP ??? Never heard about this ?

Does it say 33rpm or 45rpm on the record?Which Beogram are we talking about?

Some newly pressed "audiophile" copies of vinyl records being produced are at 45 RPM. I take it your new record is now two vinyl discs instead of one?

The cover does not say anything, as I can see, but it needs to run 45
I have a Beogram 3500

Interesting, the record is delivered as two, so you are right.
The question is now - why ?
There must be some better performance running 45 RPM - does anyone know about this ?
The 45 RPM 12 inch records were made to try and eliminate any compromises that were made by putting all of the audio content on a single, 33 RPM record. The 45 RPM is supposed to reduce inner groove distortion. It is nice to have the option. Whether your ears can discern a difference is something only you can answer. If you get a chance try and get a copy of the 33 RPM version (hopefully also in brand new condition) and do a listening test. It will be interesting to see what you think. Since you bought the 45 RPM version unintentionally I think your evaluation will be less biased ;-).
Hi,
i guess it's mostly because of the higher frequencies and maybe less background noise.
Do you remember Tape Machines? Runing with 4,75 cm/s, 9,5 cm/s, 19 cm/s and 38 m/s ? The faster, the better but more tape on the spool to get the same length of recording
Same with the Vinyl: Faster spinning but less space available, therefor two discs to get the content on Vinyl.
EDIT: sonavor was faster
