MoFi versus new remasters

I have recently seen the prices of these MoFi CD's getting downright "stupid" on eBay, many CD's selling for over $100!!! I have been buying MFSL CD's since the early '90's and never minded paying the premium on them ($25.00 at the time) because they were vastly superior to what was available at the time. Being a MAJOR Moody Blues fan, I have the entire MoFi CD collection from them and many other groups. Well, greed got the better of me I guess and I decided to buy one of the remastered Moody Blues CD's and compare it against my MoFi with the thought being I'd get a new CD with better sound and actually put some money in my pocket with the sale of the MoFi. First, the CD I bought remastered was the Moody's "Days of Future Passed". The MoFi release I had was one of the old Ultradisc II, before they had their "gain system" and probably released in the early '90's ('92 I think). I got home and put the new CD on and sat down for some critical listening. The new CD I bought was respectable, the rumbling of the gong on the opening track gave way to the instruments and all seemed in its place. But something was missing. Next, I put the MoFi CD on and played the first 5 minutes, just as I did with the new CD. What a difference!!! Not only was I more engaged in the music but the presentation was warm and the detail incredible! I'm not talking about a little bit of a difference either, this was a wholesale improvement! I was able to isolate single instruments in place and follow the musical "ques" in the music that were otherwise just in a "belnded background" with the new CD. Edge's voice as he read the poem had an authority to it with the MoFi, very chesty and natural. On the New CD, you just "heard the words" but couldn't get a mental image of the person speaking. I know these are very subjective observations but at its core, it is the essence of what we are in this hobby for. It also reminds me that most of the time, the greatest improvements in sound come not from the electronics but from the source material you feed it. At the end of the day, greed took a back seat. I have decided not to sell the MoFi because at this time it is simply irreplaceable!
