MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL


Just saw Music Direct is taking pre-orders over the phone for the next One Step releases:
Monk's Dream and 
Mingus Ah Um !!! 
I got mine ordered (and they don't charge you till it ships)
Anyone else interested in ordering these?

I really love vinyl but other than to try one just to know what the fuss is about I'm not about to spend $125 on a record when I can get a High def digital version for $18. If no body paid that kind of stupid money for them the prices would come down to acceptable levels. By buying $1 worth of plastic for $300 you are egging these guys on. Stop getting sucker punched!!
No there is not uberwaltz. It was all made up by some marketing person who usually listens to a Bose radio. These guys are into making money and figure us audiophiles are stupid enough to spend that kind of money on a record. They will market them any way they think might help them sell. Remember, marketing is the fine art of lying to the customer. All of the drug/supplement adds you hear on the radio are pure BS. Never buy anything from a human who is trying to sell you something. 
I just listened to The Academy of St.Martin-in-the-fields doing Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjuez, Pepe Romero on Guitar. It is just a plain old Phillips pressing I probably pain $10 for 3 decades ago. Gorgeous recording and dead quiet. As good as any Analog Productions and better than many current MoFi pressings. 
$125 is bad enough but 300 is totally ridiculous.
Amazing. I just came from Better Records web site. Did you know that none of us are decent listeners because we have not spent "10 years listening 40 hours a week"??? These people will not be in business long. In doctor speak they are totally FOS. IMHO anybody spending more than $35 for an albums worth of music is being sucker punched. Yes, there are great pressings and lousy ones. Good mixes and bad ones. But you can get the best mixes and pressings for as little as $20. You buy records to listen to the music you like. To have a large satisfying collection. They are a terrible investment and I have no interest in "original" copies. I also have amazing music that is on a terrible pressing or has a bad mix and I enjoy listening to it just as much. Just maybe someone will reissue it in better quality for a decent price. 
It is all just profiteering. Also whenever you see "guaranteed" your BS antenna should go up.     
I just came home to an order from Elusive Disc. Paul Revere and the Raiders Spirit of 67. Friday Music. Great mix, almost perfect vinyl, $30.
Andrew Hill, Black Fire. Blue Note. Classic mix (piano to far in the rear)
Perfect vinyl. $35. Brahms Symphony #1 George Szell, Stereorama
Knock out recording. Perfect vinyl $35. Four great records for the price of one One Step. My kind of deal.
Cheers.
vegasears, you are right. But most people will never admit that they spent $300 on a trivial piece of plastic so it becomes the best record they ever heard influencing others to make the same mistake. Having made that mistake several times I feel inclined to warn people that they are more than likely wasting money. 
Hey Millercarbon. I have the original MoFi Beatles Box in pristine condition. All on JVC Super Vinyl. You can have it for a paltry $12,000.
