I just tried the new Cisco version of Aja and compared it to a really good-sounding original and a MFSL pressing. And my verdict is in: the Cisco is a piece of junk. Bland, detail-challenged, flat, warm and syrupy, and no deep bass that is on both the MFSL and the original. The MFSL's faults is that it is too bright on top and edgy, but I just cannot tolerate the blah sound of the Cisco. Save your money and try a few originals found everywhere in used record bins.
