There are many reasons why this Super Disk is worth investing in.
When you halve the speed, very fast, difficult to cut high-frequency sound becomes much easier to cut mid-range sound. The cutting head also has twice the amount of time to cut the intricate groove, resulting in a higher quality, more detailed representation of the original sound source. This more detailed cut can have particular benefits when considering inner-groove distortion, as the natural high-frequency roll-off that happens as the groove progresses toward the record center is greatly reduced.
Cutting heads operating at half speed are also said to draw much less power than when operating at full tilt, which leaves much greater headroom in the amplifier system to respond to sudden power demands. Audibly, the benefit here is heard as greater dynamic response and instrument separation.
In essence, half speed mastering results in a superior sounding record that is both richer and fuller in the low-mid frequencies, and smoother at the top-end. The stereo image is hugely improved and the overall sound is focused and engaging.
Cutting at half speed means that information within the source recording at around 17kHz is actually recorded at 8.5kHz, and so is a long way from the point where feedback runs out. This results in a more accurate and more open high-frequency response in the half speed vinyl when compared with a normal speed recording.
Half speed mastering allows an experienced engineer to get the best results out of the most advanced tools on the market. Slowing the whole process down allows more time, which means the end result sounds better and is more efficient — allowing them to minimize the effects of inherent limitations within the vinyl.
In almost all aspects, a half speed master will sound better.
