daveyf I could not agree more. You have to here some direct to disk recordings such as the JVC Lee Retinour series or Sheffield Labs Tower of Power Direct. Those records tell you where ultimate is and none of the MoFi discs compare sonically. Maybe the new supervinyl is as good as the old JVC stuff but most if not all of MoFi's releases are available in Hi Res digital for $17.00. Lets see, $17 indestructible, $125 one drop and you are done, wears out, more distortion even though may be euphoric. I'm having a hard time choosing.
