@slaw,
I first listened to a few albums as a warmup, for my tubes as well as for me. Now that my system was in best-sound operation (and I had a hit along with some wine) I too was in best-sound reception mode.
The vinyl of that Alan Parsons Mo/Fi UHQR is superbly quiet and the mastering, plating, and pressing is fabulous. Pulled deeply into the music, as Alan Parsons albums do so well, I found myself totally immersed in a bath of music, floating in front of me and spanning a very wide soundstage. They did a phenomenal job on that reissue and it remains as one of my very best SQ records of my collection. And a very appropriate way to end the night, before heading off to bed. Very "floaty".
And thank you for asking. I appreciate that.
