Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs


Ok soooo here’s my question. Since I upped my amps to the ARC Ref 750s and my ARC Ref 6 to 6 SE. I have been thinking of buying a lot of the Mobile Fidelity 24k cds. What are you guys opinions on them as far as betting sound quality than the standard CDs. Some of them are going for a few hundred. But a lot range from about 40 and up to 400. Now I really don’t plan to send over 100. But even when u are starting to buy a bunch even at 40 to 80$ they really start adding up big time. Oh btw I also have a Rega ISIS CDP that I absolutely love. I don’t do LPs and I don’t stream never wanted to and never will. Not my thing. For the guys that know alot about those Mo Fi 24k CDs please let me here ur options on them good or bad.

Thank you everyone. There seems to be a lot of mixed reviews of Mofi. I personally do hear a difference with my system. I have bought about 20 Mofi in about the last 2!weeks. Since I only listen to digital I think it is worth it to me. 👍

@dobnbav I recently purchased Derik and the Dominos Layla. Aretha’s Gold. Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees. The police Synchonicity. Rod Stewart Every picture tells a story. Eric Clapton Slow hand. Steely Dan Aja. Moody blues Days of future passed. Queen The game. Queen News of the world. Queen A night at the opera. Elton John Honkey Chateau. Elton John Goodbye yellow brick road. Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon. Pink Floyd The wall. The Who. Who are you. The Who Tommy. U2 War. Jethro Tull Thick as a brick. I guess I will be looking in the mirror and laughing 😂

@dobnbav   What do u mean my slightly odd taste in music ? Everyone like and loves different music. And also I know there will always be a market for these if and when I sell them. Also look how much they are going up in value. It’s almost like an investment. 

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between SACD and MOFI 24k. Is one better than the other. Prices are about the same depending on artist. 

@goofyfoot  I didn’t know there are SACD players. So my Rega ISIS CDP can not read a SACD ? Or it can but only read the redbook layer. I do have 1 SACD it’s an Aretha Frankin and I did notice that it was rather bright with treble. So what u are also saying is the MOFI are similar to the SACD but they can be played on a reg cdp to take advantage of the sound quality? Sorry if I’m not making sense but this is so new to me even though I have been buying cds since they first came out. Also is one better than the other ?( sound quality ) SACD vs MOFI 24k ? 

@goofyfoot   Ah. Ok. Thank you very much. Ok. 1 last question which are better sounding the SACD or the MOFI 24k. Or are they basically the same as far as sound. 

@goofyfoot  When u say MOFI are u referring to 24k MOFIs ? I just purchased recently about 20 or so MOFI 24k cds. Are u saying that they are red book on the later years ?  What years are u talking about for the new MOFI cds ?  I just want the very best recording cds for my Rega ISIS CDP. That’s why I was am purchasing the MOFI 24k cds. And no I am not interested in buying a SACD player at this time but IF I am one day I will definitely keep that in mind  that plays ONLY SACD. And btw I only listen to CDs. Nothing else. 

Thank you once again. I really appreciate it. Also the only reason I am buying them now is only because of the remastering. And I definitely can hear a difference in some. The ones that r sound extremely good are all the Queen and Pink Floyd. 

@goofyfoot Thank you very much for taking your time and explain this in more detail. You really seem to be extremely knowledgeable about this. In your opinion do the MOFI 24k cds sound better to you than the reg Redbook cds ? 

@68pete  ok. Thanks for that information. Question.  Are MOFI 24k CDs the same as SACD ? Are they both considered the same as far as sound quality? Except that the MOFI 24k will play on a reg cdp ?  I apologize for sounding stupid.
