MFSL cd's vs. Redbook cd's


I am still fairly new to this hobby. Prior to a couple of months ago, I had never heard of Mobile Fidelity cd's. How much better sounding are these disc compared to standard redbook cd's of the same title? Do the high prices on eBay and other sites equate to a higher quality listening experience? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

the mofi cd's are a hit and miss. some sound great, while others are flat and lifeless. as mentioned, some newer cd's do sound fantastic. it's great to hear that some musicians are putting time and effort (and $) into the production. in answer to Djones1915, the quality of the cd does make a huge difference, but you will realise more of that difference on a highly detailed cd player. whether that cost's $10-20k doesn't really matter, but you probably need to spend money to get the most out of the cd.
