puttheneedleontherecord Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I've yet to have a chance to listen to any of their one-step releases. For anyone who has, do they actually sound different? https://www.mofi.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MFSL45US1S-004&CartID=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glass realms Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I don't know why MoFi thinks they charge $100 for an audiophile double 45rpm mastered LP when Analogue Productions does the same thing for half the price.

Plarocks Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Call me crazy, but I ordered this. The MFSL “one step” version of Santana “Abraxas” was often reviewed as the BEST sounding version of that album ever... I grew up listening to BOTW, and I am really looking forward to hearing what I hope is the “ultimate” version. However, the “one step” version of Donald Fagen “The Nightfly” had me rasing an eyebrow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had known about that one when it was released. Now it's selling for $500-$1000, if you can even find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have a Thorens TD2001 turntable, Grado Signature Cart, NAD Receiver and a pair of Kef Reference speakers. Far from a 5 figure set up, but better than most and in the “ballpark” of a better set up I have heard. I hear a “significant” improvement with the “standard” old school MFSL pressings, and many Japanese pressings. I don’t own the old older MFSL of this title, nor any other “premium” pressing. I am hoping it will sound as good or perhaps surpass those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourning Wood Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 regret not getting the first 2. had that santana in my cart but never pulled the trigger. so i'll probably buy this one, though it seems like demand will be less than for the others. puttheneedleontherecord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 well supply is certainly greater, /7500 vs /2500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 i mean, that makes a big difference in a $20 record, i cant imagine how much it makes in a $100 record with a niche market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourning Wood Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) oh, is that the pressing size? hmm. might wait for it to get marked down. thanks for the info. Edited January 24, 2018 by Mourning Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 400 left in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 not entirely clear on that, since Im not sure that accounts for all other ordering sources, as SSD, juno, amazon, bullmoose all have it listed for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 the price point makes me balk at any of the titles, not a huge S&G fan so I'd pass on this anyways but I personally used to detest that majors were pushing out common titles at $25+ price points then I realized that many of these are sonic improvements over the originals and while younger collectors may not want to pay what they are asking and will settle for that $5 used copy instead, people who grew up listening to this stuff want to hear what can be improved upon with newer mastering technology and pressing them to quality vinyl instead of the recycled vinyl they were accustomed to at release.I think it's one of my favorite things of the resurgence whether you want to pay $50 for an obscure video game or movie soundtrack or an audiophile double 45 remaster of a classic album that sounds better than any version you have ever heard, someone has you covered. There is a market to suit just about any kind of collector. I mean I'd rather buy a stack of records than pay $250 for the AP reissue of Harry Belafonte at Carnegie Hall, but there is someone out there who grew up listening to that album and wants to hear an improvement on what is already considered one of the best sounding recordings of all time.
