Better Records vs MoFi

Why versus only MoFi? Analogue Productions has reissued far more titles than has MoFi. And better titles, too. There are many other reissue labels doing better work than MoFi.

Sorry, I simply can't agree with "There are many other reissue labels doing better work than MoFi."  It simply to broad a statement. 

MoFi, Speaker's Corner, VTL, Tacet, etc. all produce high quality LPs that are as good and, and many times better than, AP.  It varies from disc to disc.

In general, I avoid AP if a similar/better product is available.

Thank you to the originator of this thread and to all those contributing.

I was not aware of Better Records. I have since been in touch with them to see if they ship to the UK which they do so about to sign up

Barry, 

If you take the plunge please let us know. 

You all have been great thank you. Edisoncarter, thanks for explaining its bandwidth for a HSM. I’m now curious, if there’s a white hot stamper for a regular pressing of an album. Not that they sell them but, if I gathered 50 Mofi copies of Dark Side of the Moon, would there be a white hot stamper of them? Or, does their QC weed out the non WHS quality pressings? Just Curious 

This will find you the best sounding of the 50. Doesn't mean it will be a White Hot Stamper. Doesn't even mean it will compare to a Hot Stamper. All it means is you have found the best of the 50.

What if all 50 suck? What if the whole entire run MoFi made of it sucks? If Tom's proved one thing, that would be it. I mean think about it. All he does (the haters say) clean used records and mark em up 1000%. If MoFi are White Hot Stamper level he would buy em, clean em, play em a few times and they would sell for $800. 

Which he doesn't. I've never seen a single MoFi on his site. But we know he plays em, he compares. Because: 1000% markup! If he could make a buck, for sure he would. I would! Anyone would! 'cept for one thing, unless they really do sound good his customers would complain and send em back. Refund! 

So my answer is forget 50, you will go through everything MoFi ever pressed, every single copy, and not find one. Not a single one. Not from MoFi.
