That is a good article. Chad is the man and all of us that love records should tip our hats to him.

Agreed. I await the red/blue LPs from QRP vs. buying the ones currently available. I also wish they redid some of the Classic Records reissues. One could only hope...

I'm waiting for the UHQR releases on the hand presses.

Which are those Myles?

Thanks Myles. I did miss that one.

Chad showed the artwork to me two years ago for this new product. 180 gram, hand pressed on Clarity vinyl. But so far, nothing. Guess the digital downloads took precedent because that's where the money is.

So are downloads outpacing vinyl sales on his site?

I purchased a handful of downloads, mostly vinyl from him. But that's just me...

I think it's in poor taste that he's using UHQR and couldn't come up with something more creative.

If you had checked, Chad bought the rights to use the term.

It is a normal business practice to buy a brand with name recognition. And certainly UHQR has near legendary status among analog users (whether it's deserved or not is another question).

Are the UHQR's ever going to be made?

 

[Myles B. Astor]

That's the million dollar question. Chad always neatly side steps the question when I ask him. Soon dude.

Myles, do they have a sales point or just sell to retailers?

If I understand your question, the LPs are available from Acoustic Sounds and other online retailers as well as select high-end audio and record stores.
