Vinyl only spin list

It's really special, they did a killer job.

100% get the Stereo, the Mono actually strips out a lot of the effects, it's a different cut with a different length and just misses that this record was specifically designed for stereo, Jimi heavily experimented with Stereo effects in a lot of the tracks.

You get a lot of people pitting it against the 2010 Marino cut saying that the UHQR at $125 is too expensive, but they categorically also state the Marino is about 90% of the SQ. I looked it up and to find a sealed copy of the Marino from a reputable Discogs seller is going to cost over $100 these days anyway, whereas you can now get sealed UHQR's for $110, IMHO, this easily wins out.

Plus it's the old dowell boxes which I wish they'd go back to, not a fan of the Mofi copied new AP boxes.

Thanks for the insight. I’ve my OG copy from ‘70 or’71, that I bought when I was in high school. It’s stereo and the thought of buying a mono version never crossed my mind. To my tiny brain Axis is the finest of what I call “Hendrix’s Reprise Trilogy’, (Reprise being the label he was signed to and released his first records). I’ve kept thousands of records in great shape and don’t have to replace them. I just respect Axis so much I want the upgrade.

Tech Note: The little stack is a pair of Fosi 100w Class D subwoofer amps driving just the subwoofer section of the 125w (strapped) NHT SuperTwo’s while padding down the main amp 24dB plus a touch more with the Sys. Sounds stupid good for a pair of $50 chip amps.
