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?

^^^Nope. 

Already own the AP 45 versions of the entire Doors catalog, and they sound mighty fine.  As I recall, they were $40 or $45 each upon their initial release back in 2012.  

Don’t make the mistake I just made when looking at the link for the Analogue Productions reissue of La Woman, posted by lalitk above. I initially thought I have this AP disc, what’s the big deal? I then reread the information about this new UHQR disc and realized this is a very special reissue of the recording, limited to 4,500 disc, mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog master tapes. Also pressed with extreme care, top quality vinyl and hand inspected for quality. No wonder this is a $125 disc (+tax and shipping). And yes, I have ordered the disc! Can’t wait to hear it. palasr, you appear to have made the same mistake I made when commenting on this AP reissue.

@lalitk Thanks for the heads up on LA Woman...am considering tonight(with scotch)

You haven't commented on the Bill Evans so that worries me you were not impressed with the UHQR in comparison to your Riverside Recordings copies.

I have not had a chance to play Bill Evans UHQR records cause my TT won’t be ready until Labor Day weekend. I would post my impressions by following week including LA Woman UHQR going up against Analog Production QRP 45RPM LP’s.
