For UD1S plating, stampers (also called “converts”) are made directly from the lacquers. Since each lacquer yields only one stamper, multiple lacquers need to be cut. Mobile Fidelity's UD1S process produces a final LP with the lowest-possible noise floor. The removal of two steps of the plating process also reveals musical details and dynamics that would otherwise be lost due to the standard multi-step process. With UD1S, every aspect of vinyl production is optimized to produce the best-sounding vinyl album available today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMoFi SuperVinyl\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeveloped by NEOTECH and RTI, MoFi SuperVinyl is the most exacting-to-specification vinyl compound ever devised. Analog lovers have never seen (or heard) anything like it. Extraordinarily expensive and extremely painstaking to produce, the special proprietary compound addresses two specific areas of improvement: noise floor reduction and enhanced groove definition. The vinyl composition features a new carbonless dye (hold the disc up to the light and see) and produces the world's quietest surfaces. This high-definition formula also allows for the creation of cleaner grooves that are indistinguishable from the original lacquer. MoFi SuperVinyl provides the closest approximation of what the label's engineers hear in the mastering lab.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56666414022988,"sku":"821797202824","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/MoFi_UD1S_Eagles_HotelCalifornia_Render_Box_Cover__88538.webp?v=1770372152","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/copy-of-pre-order-eagles-one-of-these-nights-mfsl-ultradisc-one-step-45rpm-vinyl-2lp-box-set","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
