    Are you sure about Diver Down, and Fair Warning? I was told only the first Van Halen was released, and that is all that my CC was charged.

    For the One Step Vinyl, and the SACD..

    Ok peeps ..


    SL1200G
    Parasound JC3 Jr
    Denon 301 MK2
    Yamaha AS2200 AQ Speaker and RCA cables
    Polk L200


    Here is what I wrote in my Facebook review of the One-Step VH 45 RPM

    Van Halen/“Van Halen” Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab/Warner Bros , 45 RPM OMR. 2023/1978

    Holy moly .. this release sounds better than I ever thought!! It’s freaking absolutely banging .. I can’t even put it into words !!
    FWIW—It smashed my OG and remastered LPs as well. (Rhino 180g with DCC stampers) as good as those are !!

    I’m stunned 😳😊😊😊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😊🙂🙂🎉🎉🎉🤩


    I will add ..


    It’s so good , the cymbals sound so real. And everything just sounds sublime. You can clearly hear everything like DLR vocals are in the room. Eddie’s guitar. ! The drums.. it’s amazing. Highly recommended..!!



    Still evaluating the SACD .. so have to listen to it more.

    Have fun all .. hope you like my mini review :)

    This is pretty awesome. I'm going to get them all on SCAD.

    I'm a pretty big Van Halen fan, I even have one of Eddies amps.

    My SACD came today, I'm really liking it, It's dead quiet and presents a great front stage. I hope the others are as good or better!

    I wish the vinyl was 33 1/3 rpm. 45 RPM means a lot of record flipping.

    WHERE IS MY SACD's!

    You know some of the Atlantic 75th anniversary SACD's were supposed to be out in February 2024, have not seen any of those either. I've got pre-orders that will soon be going on 3yrs.
    Ridiculous!!
