Which MoFi and MoFi UHQR LPs?

as feelings run so strongly on MoFi's one way of the other (and i own most all of them) i will avoid any recs.

the only point i will make is that VTA and system bass performance are significant considerations in judging various pressings. i have gone from 'ho-hum' to 'thumbs up' quite a few times with small VTA adjustments on MFSL pressings, particularly the earlier japanese pressings. complaints about tipped up top end or bass that is too heavy might be as much comments on set-up and system character as a pressing issue.

it could also be just that MoFi's pressings vary to a good degree and you need to find the good ones.

listen for yourself with an open mind.

just my 2 cents.

Viridian, you may want to look for an earlier pressing of Katy Lied. I've heard plenty that sound as you described but I now have one that sounds very good.

I had the 200 gm version of Getz Gilberto on the table the other day. It is pretty amazing IMHO. I also really like the 200gm Muddy Waters Folk Singer as well, trouble is I play it too often.

I simply avoid all the MFSLs. IMHO, you're much better off with a good original pressing 99% of the time, both musically and sonically. And, no I haven't heard them all - but then again I believe my sampling over the years of half-speeds, "super-discs" and the rest has been sufficient to come to some personal consensus. The usual disclaimers apply.
