Part Two of a survey through 15 Mobile Fidelity One Step titles in my collection.. Mobile Fidelity made quite a splash with the initial Mofi One Step release, Santana's Abraxas. I remember seeing it advertised and thought it was too much money! So, though I passed on that one, I soon started picking up everything I could. Some MOFI One Steps sre superb, others forgettable. With advances in my reference system, I thought it would be interesting to do a quick revisit of what I have here. These comments are not based on shootouts (though I have done some) but more to see if they hold up on a more revealing system, ans if I can enjoy them on their own merits.
Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you'd like to see Part Three, where I open and shout-out my one sealed Mofi One Step, the rare Sunday At The Village Vanguard by The Bill Evans Trio. For that I will be collaborating with Oswaldo Martinez at Let There Be Sound, and it will be a blind listening test.
The copies will include the Mofi One Step, The Analogue Productions UHQR, the Craft Original Jazz Classic, the Analogue Productions 2x45, and the Alto Analogue pressings.
