I'm curious as to what you expcected vs what you got in fidelity for that price? Now, I'm not sure I ever played a UHQR, but I did have a pretty nice Thorenz for a few years.
One thing I was super gung-ho about when I started in Hi Fi/Quad, was decent LP quality. I was so pissed when the industry num-nuts evidently started melting old batches, label and all, and thereby totaly fk up the records.
Did this really happen? I can't say.........but when the rumor appeared (of course) I and many had found the quality of 33 1/3 to take a total dump for a while, with some stragglers lingering for years.
In 1982 when I bought it...my expectations were modest...I just didn't want to hear the snap crackle and pop show...like I said..I only played it once and I remember it being very quiet and that excited me...my hope was with a new hi profile turntable it would stay "crackle" free...my other observation was how much heavier it was compared to a standard LP of the day....they didn't have that marketing machine then that assessed values to the LPs..like 180gram...200gram....
I was browsing through Acoustic Sounds and noticed that Steppenwolf Gold Stereo SACD is still number 1 in sales. I also noticed it says backordered. Man.....I didn't see that coming. Must be really popular. I might have to get that one....

Wow, awesome duuude!!!!!
I alwayyyss wanted tone of these!!!!!
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahh, yes. Back in the 70's I liked LP's that were pressed in either the UK or Germany, the vinyl always seemed so pristine (and heavier). So I get where you're coming from.
Ah Clint....a bit of fresh plastic wrap, a little weight for the warps, up on Ebay as "Like New" and you'll be a rich, or richer, man!
John...it's going to take more than a "little weight"...
Well G...I was talking to Bobby and he wants to meet Luther....Bobby loves to rock..watched a show about Black Sabbath today...very interesting...
LOL! Wow!!! Is that something you made....or you purchased at a "horror" shop?

I purchased it at a long time ago at an art supply shop...the skin used to be smooth and looked like real human skin...from a distance you could hardly tell it wasn't a real face...my friends and I used to have some real involved Halloween parties...one year I hosted the Halloween party and I rented a real casket from a local funeral home...I was married at the time and my wife and I left our house open so our friends wouldn't know it was us...I had blacklight writings on the walls and plenty of joints rolled in advance and arranged on a coffee table so everbody could help themselves...and we purchased a huge plastic garbage can and filled it with "jungle juice"...which was every white colored liquor and Hawaiian Punch...it was mixed so you couldn't really tell how strong it was...good times...

I just noticed something today...I'm waiting on some external hard drives I purchased on amazon and it's "out for delivery" and amazon is telling me how many stops there are before reaching me...what?...wow...I wouldn't want to be one of these people working on deliveries for amazon...this is one of their sub contractors working today....it probably isn't very accurate...but it sure might be enough for the driver to not deviate from his assigned route
Update:..the tracking was spot on...the guy knocked on the door once and I opened it in time to see him taking a picture of the box in front of my door...wow...video evidence...I can't wait until the drones deliver these things

I meant to add Japan, who, as a whole, produced some great sounding LP's "back when".
Here's something I ran into a few years ago, not super related but; I was looking for a CD by Roy Buchanan, and I used to deal with a little company in the Islands that specialized in finding OOP CD's.
Well, they found a semi-recent pressing in the Republic of Korea. I don't know why, but I had been in SE Asia, and it would have never occurred to me. Still it was great news and a small education I've since pursued.
Stick with me....
So, I was at work earlier today....I'm in agriculture...science end of it. I was in the fields, and I bent over to pull out a damn glyphosate resistant weed and the button on my shorts popped off. Worse yet, I bent over to grab the button and the zipper broke....
Hmmm.
So, I go to Champaign, find a Kohls and buy a pair of shorts...lmao.
What does this have to do with music? Well....I decided to stop by Best Buy...haven't been there in ages.....I was stunned at how many vinyl they have. Whoa.....and their CD section seems to be smaller......
Thought you'd all love to hear my story.

My only question is:
How did you feel after smoking the glyphosate resistant weed?
