I have half speed masters in my collection. My latest are The Who's "Meaty, Beaty, Big, and Bouncy" as well as "Odds & Sods". But the crown jewel of my half speed masters is again from The Who, it's their Who's Next album. Who's Next to begin with is a stellar album, but in a half speed master format, it is a complete rediscovery from start to stop.

I have a few half speed mastered records, and I have to admit that I'm not that impressed about them. I have also read that a lot of vinyl enthusiasts aren't exactly praising them either, and find their sound kinda tinny. I can of course only speak about mine, and I can't rule out that they may be poorly mastered in other ways or something, but HSM doesn't look promising to me. Just like 180gr it seems to be a sales gimmick, though in theory it should be better.
Direct Metal Mastering is a whole other matter. I have several of those from back in the 80's when they started making them, and the difference is amazing. Lower surface noise, og way clearer details. Just as one example I have the original release of a Fun Fun album (standard mastering/pressing), and a german DMM reprint of the same album. The difference is breathtaking. Hope you'll get the chance to make a similar comparison. Trust me, you'll love it.
Stay safe and awesome dude.

I actually have two of the Peter Gabriel Half Speed remasters. "Up" and "Us". And they are damn awesome albums too. Missed the opportunity to get myself a copy of "So" when someone bought it before me. But then again, i own that album on Vinyl twice already. Once as East German AMIGA pressing and once as West German official pressing.
