    Ordered, although I already have the AP33 and the ORG45. Hope it’s as much better than the AP33 as it was with Love Supreme.

      By AP33 you are refferring to the Acoustic Sounds Series, which is pretty decent already ?

        Yes. I didn’t expect the UHQR with the same mastering is that much better, but it is if your setup is resolving. It’s a bigger difference than just the one of 33 vs 45 RPM. Not sure what other additional magic is done with the UHQR‘s than the clarity vinyl.

      And I really believe that the UHQR's are the best of their kind, though I haven't heard any ERC pressings. Bob Marley's releases are sublime as is Miles and Jimi. And I won't for that price! I do have my limits.
