Best MFSL pressing

I've not heard that one, but I'm returning the UDCD of Dark Side of the Moon. I think the recording itself must be bright, the high hat cymbols are SOOO very forward and hard, and even the MoFi mastering doen't seem to help it much, over the aluminum standard one. No, it's not my CD player...Does this particular pressing of yours alleviate that very much? I assume it's a UHQR? Those are very expensive. The only MFSL vinyl I have is Anadisq 200, and I don't have that title on it (not sure they did one in that series). Of the ANDSC titles I have, many are dark and sluggish sounding, but a few are quite nice. They seem to be pressed very low in level, where I have to turn the volume setting up around 6 to 8 db louder than normal, and maybe 12 dB higher than vinyl that's been cut with the "hottest" levels (like the RTI pressings from Analog Productions). This is sort of a disadvantage, since it means "groove rush" is that much louder.

Ry Cooder - Jazz MFSL 1-085; Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus MFSL 2-013; Beethovens 9th MFSL 2-516; Star Wars/Close Encounters MFSL 1-008.

Rush; "Moving Pictures" and Robin Trower "Bridge of Sighs" - top notch remasters!

Supertramp-"Crime of the Century", Muddy Waters-"Folk Singer", an Gino Vannelli-"Powerful People". The best MFSL pressings are the ones on JVC pure vinyl with Stan Ricker doing the mastering.

Concur with Slowhand on Muddy Waters, "Folk Singer." What about Beatles, "Magical Mystery Tour" (MFSL 1-047)? It qualifies for one of the best and the worst MFSLs. Its specially plated and pressed on High Definition Super Vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan. But the stereo imaging--George Martin's hard panning--on side one will make you wonder if one of your speakers cut out in the middle of the song. It is downright annoying on headphones: like getting water stuck in your ear at the swimming pool. But I have never heard Lennon and McCartney's voices sound so detailed (the body, the boom, the presences, the sibilances are all there). Everything goes fine on Side Two until "Penny Lane." The sound stage then becomes extremely narrow and you have a mono image for the rest of the album ("Baby You're A Rich Man" and "All You Need is Love"). Message: you can't have it all.
