I'm a little late to the party but I have been really enjoying the Gaucho UHQR as well. I didn't have a copy of Gaucho so the UHQR was an easy decision. Babylon sisters is demo level. Whole album sounds amazing!
UHQR Aja
- Thread starter MRubey
- Start date
I hesitated in buying the Aja UHQR, it's a regular spin for me and I finally bought one on a recent Phoenix trip, bought from The In Groove store, Mike has them in stock.
It for sure is not at the level my OG ABC Records AB1006, Santa Maria pressing. The UHQR is very close but there are areas where the AB1006 is more dynamic and just has more slam. I do like the UHQR since it is a new pressing but I'm not sure, I can't legitimately say, that Bernie Grundman bested what he did in 1977. I justified the buy as a NM 1977 AB1006 will run you $60-$100, so a UHQR brand new pressing for $150 was fine.....Honestly I would have preferred it as a 33RPM.
