    Never heard the RTR 7&1/2 ips Bridge.
    Have BookEnds RTR 7 &1/2 ips and it sounds great.

    Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's new ULTRADISC ONE-STEP (UD1S) uses only one step, bypassing two processes of copying and generation loss. While three-step processing is designed for optimum yield and efficiency, UD1S is about the ultimate in sound quality. A very limited number of vinyl LPs are made from each pristine, fragile UD1S stamper - called a convert. Such exclusivity guarantees that every pressing serves as an immaculate replica of the lacquer sourced directly from the original master tape. Listeners will hear immediate sonic benefits that include significantly increased transparency, remarkably quicker transients, and supremely delicate microdynamics. ULTRADISC ONE-STEP LPs: The paramount listening experience.

    MOFI Strictly Limited.

    One copy per customer would have been better, I'm sure the extra copy goes straight on eBay.

    I have several original copies. The original columbia 2 eye sounds superb, as does the original Japanese. Good enough for my ears.

    Best I've heard is the Doug Sax gold mastersound cd.

    The gold mastersound mastering is also available on a cheap European CD.
    Album details - Dynamic Range Database

    Yep, that's my entry. I think I've spent about £2 on that one and an original UK CBS LP. I'm a big spender.:D

    I'm stoked for this as I don't have the Classic and I expect this to to sound better.

    Amazon has copies for sale now and has the release date as May 4.

    Amazon's price is currently $125.09. Music Direct is still showing $99.99.

    I wonder how accurate the release date at Amazon is?

    If history is any indication, probably not very.

    I was pleased to see Acoustic Sounds apparently got some to sell. Maybe Music Direct saw a war coming and figured they could do some damage control since AP has their first UHQR in the pipeline. True, Music Direct didn't even a nibble at the Experience issues but they had to pay some price, didn't they?

    Anyway, I'm in negotiations to buy a far better cartridge and these and other albums will be excellent justification for buying it. Now I just have to get my hands on a far better phono preamp. This Rega Fono will be a bit of an embarrassment compared to the rest of the setup.

    Just put in my pre-order. I think this might be one of the better sounding one-steps....it has the potential imo!

    I prepaid at two places (one was Sound Stage Direct...don't know if that one will actually arrive given people are saying they don't seem to be getting their orders). Anyway, does anyone know when this is supposed to come out?

    I just looked at the ad a few minutes ago and it still says TBA on Music Direct. My guess is that it will ship sometime by the end of April, but that's just a gut feeling.

    I have committed the ultimate gamble. In anticipation of this release, last week I sold both my US and Japanese pressings. If actions speak louder than words, I have clearly expressed my opinion of MoFi's One-Steps.

    Yes that's risky! Sometimes this stuff ends up getting endlessly delayed or never coming out. And MoFi, as awesome as they are, are terrible in that regard. I have no idea why these companies feel the need to preannounce things when they don't even have a release date. It gets frustrating. It isn't like they are going to sell less by not doing that. When they announce movies on dvd they almost always include dates.

    I was talking to a person at music direct earlier in the week. They said this title should be shipping pretty soon. Can't wait to hear it.

    I presume the Stevie Ray Vaughn one steps won't be out until next year.
