I stopped reading when I got to his comments on the SC Can't Buy a Thrill

I have a clean early ABC pressing and the Speakers Corner reissue-the SC smokes it in every way, not even close. Several audiophile buddies who have heard it concur, and it goes for big bucks on Discogs today. Of course, Port would much rather you pay him $200 for a record he picked up at an auction for peanuts than buy an audiophile label reissue.

Certainly the audiophile pressings are occasionally a swing and a miss-the MFSL Linda Ronstadt Hasten Down the Wind is veiled and lifeless compared to my Asylum original that's been played multiple times over the years. But this guy's gig is clearly vinyl concierge for the wealthy and/or lazy. With enough knowledge and experience you know what to look for, how to read deadwax and what cutting engineers and pressing plants have the best track records.
