    Question half-speed?

    Half-speed audiophile vinyl records.

    - Does this mean I have to do anything special to play them?
    - Or does it mean the masters were cut at twice-speed to increase bandwidth? (I remember from the old reel->reel days - faster rec. speed = more bandwidth.) Then play back at normal speed.
    - Or... ?

    I can't imagine one would have to play back at 16 RPM, since that speed is so rare on playback units, but I can imagine twice as many sides per album to contain extra bandwidth.

    I'm pretty sure this is a real dumb question.


    I googled -- honest
