(Psychedelic Rock) [LP][24/96] Pink Floyd 1973 The Dark Side Of The Moon (MFSL UHQR 1981), FLAC (tracks), lossless

This is a needle drop of the MFSL 'Dark Side Of The Moon' by Pink Floyd - UHQR MFQR 1-1017. This is considered by many to be the ultimate version of this album as it was half speed mastered from the original master tape. This LP is the 4,748th pressing of 5,000 from the master stamper at the Victor Company of Japan (JVC) plant in Yokohama, Japan during May 1981. Mint copies of this album change hands for $500+.

Recorded at 24/96 there is no post processing whatsoever - what you hear is what is on the vinyl. This is an excellent copy but even after cleaning there are still one or two clicks and pops. Feel free to remove them if you want - they do not bother me.
As usual before converting this excellent copy to FLAC the record was cleaned on a Loricraft Pro cleaning machine using L' Art du Son cleaner. It was transcribed on an SME20/2 turntable with SME V arm and Koetsu Rosewood Platinum Signature cartridge to a Krell KPE reference phono amp and on to a Steve Huntley modified Audio Research LS22 tube pre amp. The ADC was an e-mu 0202 and the sound was captured on Audition 2. All cables are Grover Silver reference. Monitoring was via an Audio Synthesis DAX Discrete DAC, Krell FPB400cx power amp and Wilson Benesch speakers with Velodyne DD-10 sub-woofers.
