This is in regards to new, 12" vinyl platters. I recently acquired an album with two discs that play about 4-5 minutes per side.
Is there any gain in fidelity? I've seen some 12" singles have or had deeper grooves that I would presume gave more "sound pressure" or in the magnetic tape world would be called dynamic range (I think). Doesn't seem to be the case here though.
Anyway, after years of MSFL, RCA "Red Seal" etc., I'm wondering if there's any advantage to mastering a 12" vinyl at 45 rpm other than shortening the time the program plays on each side?
