That "Hot Stamper" site doesn't impress me at all. They're just reselling copies of records they find at the same places we buy them - estate sales, media resellers and Goodwill stores. They buy records and then "rate" some (most?) of them as being worthy of hundreds of dollars. I'd rather buy a nice new 180g vinyl copy.
But I might have to sample one of the HD Vinyl records - when they start coming out - just to see what they sound like. I know the US Mint offers various grades of coin pressings, and vinyl record pressing is a similar process. The quality of the pressing plate and the pressure and length of application make a big difference in the surface features of the coin produced. So I would expect this kind of thing would be similarly quality-affecting in a vinyl record production process.
