"I don't think there was deceit. Perhaps not being as honest of every detail about each stage of the mastering"
So what is it then , partial deceit? You either honestly disclose all or if you don't you are deceitful
The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them
Totally disgusted with TAS opinions on the mofi mess. They're basically saying it was okay to dupe us. Jonathan Valin actually says as long as it sounds good...
What a sell out to the audiophile community. TAS is nothing but a glorified product catalogue for their advertisers.

The articles were right inline with the soft-balled interview they conducted with Jim Davis. The interview was nothing more than a venue for MoFi to plead its case; there were no questions that pushed Davis on the lack of transparency and pricing. The articles effectively downplay the lack of transparency; and pricing gets sloughed off by Harley in 6 words. Valiin's statement in the editorial shows exactly TAS position: "My bottom line is this: After MoFi spent decades keeping the LP alive and kicking - releasing many, many sonic triumphs pver that span (including several of the One-Steps) - it would be worse than ungrateful of audiophiles not to show some charity here." "ungrateful of audiophiles" - guess everyone didn’t realize the largesse of Mofi. Valin certainly missed that Mofi produced records to make money.
