They should ALL GET BEHIND 45 RPM VINYL AS THE AUDIOPHILE FORMAT OF CHOICE.

I find flipping every 10 minutes annoying. My audiophile creds could be at risk but there it is,I want to listen to Gabriel not flip. I have stopped buying these 45 reissues where possible.
Difficult to turn down Gabriel but I have 3 LP's and they sound great in 33. New & young audience has even less patience & the labels always cater to the mass market even when we are wrong.
The customer is then charged what he is likely to stand. ...
Admittedly, I'm too lazy, and cheap, to be going for these 45rpm editions. If I have to get up more often, I may not bother playing the whole thing anyway.

The marginal value added of the 45 is outweighed for me by the need to flip the records every ten minutes. I want to settle back for a bit and sink into the music.Exceptions for me are Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions and A Charlie Brown Christmas . Owing (I think) to the spartan nature of those records, the extended grooves make a difference in detail to these ears.

I have one 45 LP ...never again. The little sonic value added is far outweighed (for me ) by being a PITA.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
And I don't know that it's idiots so much as by the time they get to the top they are exhausted. The collective "they" have put up with every imaginable type of asshole, become every type of asshole you can imagine and are just counting the days they can shitcan the whole thing and retire to the proverbial island where they can continue being assholes until they die.So yeah, they act in idiotic ways but not because they are stupid.. They just can't be bothered.
