MoFi v/s UHQR


I admit that I never doubted MoFi releases but also knew I was never fully satisfied.  I loved the packaging and it just feels good owning a limited release of a special album.  Since the uncovering of their digital step I have bought a few UHQR albums and really feel they are superior.  I had not owned one prior to the controversy.  What are other vinyl lovers doing?  Are you still ordering the UD1S releases?

Thank you for letting me know. I wasn’t sure about double dipping since I own the Riverside collection as well and they sound pretty darn good! I am going to place an order now.

@larsman - that's why I said forget that generalization too. @bdp24 - sorry for not mentioning moving iron - don't know much about them other than they are mainly sold by Soundsmith and are a small niche, so of course any model can be compared to any other cartridge. My personal choice - VDH MC One Special with a Sutherland Insight. The VDH has a great long lasting stylus and sounds excellent. The Insight with the LPS is another great value out there (and Ron Sutherland is a great guy).

@lalitk  I thought elusive disc charges sales tax if the state you live in collects it (that's what they told me). For the cost of shipping alone, you will get a lower pressing number direct from AS and the peace of mind and quicker availability is worth it to me. 

Lalitk I bought the Sunday at Village Vanguard UHQR . I prefer it over my friend UDS1 Mofi. Though I enjoy listening to uDS1 Mofi version.Iam not decided to get the Waltz for Debby UHQR.I will both buy them on SAcd when in stock.
