MFSL CD's - Are they worth it?


I have quite a few MFSL CD's I've gotten over the years. On most remasters they sound markedly better than the original releases. I have gotten a few recently, however, that DON'T sound as good as the original. Case in point, U2's Joshua Tree. A little too warm and boomy when compared to the original also a lack in detail. As these CD's are becoming more expensive do you think they are worth the $? Do you like them?

Are they worth it? Yes, some are at the original retail price of 30.00. The remastered Moody Blues, Elton John, Eric Clapton and Cat Stevens all sound better than the MFSL versions. The current prices that some people are selling is taking all the fun out of collecting. Yes, the company is out of business and they are becoming collectable but 700.00 for The Wall, give me a break. Again, the remastered Floyd is equal or better than the MFSL.We live in a free market and people can sell and buy what they please but to take advantage of music collectors in my opinion is wrong. I have over 4000 cds in my collection but when I really want to listen to the best reproduction, I play vinyl.As good as cds are now, in a quality analog system most records sound better. To paraphrase Dennis Miller "Thats just my opinion, I could be wrong"
