Not responsible for damage or loss during shipment. The items being sold are whole and in the stated condition. Once a transaction is completed and the item ships no refunds will be made for damage during shipment. If you want to protect against loss or damage ask for insurance.
If buying more than one item I will combine shipping. All transactions should be completed within 10 days of sale or at least some arrangement with seller made. For example if your sending a money order it can at times take longer than 10 days to arrive and I will make allowances or if you make a purchase early in the week and need to wait until a pay day at the end of the week I have no problem making accommodations. All I ask is that you let me know your situation and we will work it out. Communication is the key to all sales being completed to each parties satisfaction.
If buyer is outside the United States shipping costs will be determined based on options that the buyer chooses. I can’t estimate the cost because they vary from country to country. Seller will contact the buyer within 24 hours of end of sale with shipping options.
About Mobile Fidelity:
Mobile Fidelity's significant contributions to the world of high-end audio software are grounded in the art of Original Master Recording, significantly advanced by the company with the introduction of the half-speed mastered Original Master Recording™ LP. As part of the company's resolve to provide the most accurate sonic reproductions possible, all Mobile Fidelity product is mastered directly from the original master tape as opposed to production copies often used for mass reproduction. This ensures a more complete and exacting transfer of the original musical data. In the case of the Original Master Recording™ (OMR) LP, the use of the master tape is combined with a unique procedure known as "half-speed" mastering, which literally slows down the cutting system involved in mastering vinyl so that musical information can be transferred from the source tape to the lacquer with greater precision. To this advanced mastering technique, Mobile Fidelity adds substantial refinements in the vinyl compound itself and improves methods of plating the lacquer. The result is a significant improvement in overall performance from the vinyl medium.
About UHQR:
The development of the Ultra High Quality Record™ in '81 signified the growing importance of the collectors' market. Aimed at the high-end audiophile, the UHQR was unlike any other LP available in the marketplace. Pressed on specially formulated 200-gram virgin vinyl (known as "Super vinyl"), this superior quality analog phonograph record was limited to 5,000 pressings per title to ensure quality standards. Today, both OMR LPs and UHQRs continue to solicit higher and higher prices on the collectors' market.
