MOFI's new UD1S Santana "Abraxas" LP


Have now listened to this new LP from MOFI several times.

While not  one of my favorite albums, and the music is just okay, the recording is spectacular.

Mobile Fidelity's new Ultra Disc One Step (UD1S) process seems to extract a lot of information from the grooves. This LP is open, spacious and has ambiance out the butt.

The packaging is superb.  Very nice box reminiscent of the old UHQR, with much nicer artwork and inserts.

I compared it my regular MOFI LP and to the US original and the German pressing.  This is indeed the best sounding of the bunch.

Is it worth a hundred bucks?  Well, it is to me, but maybe not everyone.

I am curious how many times  they use the convergent disc as a stamper or how many vinyl disc they produce from one convergent/stamper. Also, is there a code in the matrix denoting which stamping the record is
Any one know?.

Thnx

Thanks for the info. If I should come across info regarding if the matrix is coded to identify the convergent and stamper number in the run, I will let you know

Thnx
