I am lucky enough to own all the MFSL UD1S pressings. My favorite so far is the Bill Evans Sunday Night At The Village Vanguard. To me, master tape quality with the feel of a live performance. Hard to believe this recording is nearly 58 years old. Looking forward to listening to the Marvin Gaye UD1S recording. Hard to believe there are any vinyl pressings better than the MFSL UD1S series. But, then again, the MCA Rob Wasserman Duet recording is up there with the UD1S pressings and at a fraction of the cost. Life is sometimes just full of surprises for we audiophiles.
Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" new 45RPM MOFI UD1S
I've had this title for short while now and have listened to it several times.
First off, completely FLAT pressing and pristine surfaces...very quiet. Box and accessories, are again, top-notch.
The sound is very dynamic and open, but is a smidgen bright on my system. It seems to me, (I have all of these UD1S releases) that the newer/next title(s) have been this way also? They progressively get brighter with each release. Maybe it's me, but that's what I am hearing. Not a ton so, but just a tad tipped up.
I do have a US & UK copy of this title and this UD1S does indeed sound better, but not as much of a difference as with some of the other titles. I also have the MOFI ORG first version of this and it's really close. Yes, the UD1S is better, but by a slim margin.
Try the song "Mercy Mercy Me" or the title track "What's Going On" to hear what this format can do.
I noticed that MOFi is now calling the Ultra Disc 1 Step (UD1S) "Super Vinyl" in all their marketing. Maybe there is a new Avenger in the wings... :-)
