Eric Clapton Unplugged MoFi UD1S thoughts

Thanks for your thorough assessment analogj

I will definitely be listening to the album more and will try and focus on the points you mentioned.  While I know my system sounds great it may have limitations in revealing these subtle differences.

My copy of the MoFi 'One Step' EC Unplugged is superior in all areas to the other versions that i own, including the Bellman release. Superb album that really allows the soundstage to expand and bring in more information of the audience etc.,

Highly recommended.

Yeah, I'm surprised when I read from those who hear no difference. It makes me think either their ears or equipment are less resolved.

To me, the 2LP Bellman is like pushing a loudness button. It still sounds great though. The 1 Step is so natural sounding, the tone is perfect. Also, the Bellman is much louder so you need to listen to both at the same level.

This is a classic case of how I get a little too excited over highly anticipated results. I expect so much immediately and then start getting frustrated.  We say over and over to try and not be so critical of a new component or really anything the first couple days, but damn it is so hard!  Now that a month has passed and I am relaxed this evening I have listened to each side from the former copy to the MoFi and while it still doesn't just blow me away there are these subtle improvements that are starting to show themselves.  I suppose at this level, subtleties are often all we can expect.  Glad to at least get people talking about such a wonderful album.  With either release, you really can close your eyes and put yourself into that audience.  It will go down as one of my favorite records of all time.
