It was one of MoFi’s engineers on YouTube. You can find it if you want.
Aja and Gaucho from analogue productions will be all analog. In Chad we trust.
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.

@sokogear Chad's caveats for Aja and Gaucho were that they are from tape copies because they could not find the master tapes. Not digital. You can see the source information on the Acoustic Sounds website. |
@sokogear For me? Yes an analog tape copy is better than a digital copy for a vinyl record. As Chad said "Why tie one arm of the mastering engineers hand behind his back? Once it's [digital] in there you can't get it out." I am not interested in any Steely Dan releases but when I buy a re-issue I do want it all analog otherwise I would just spend the inflated prices on original pressings. I definitely appreciate the labels that make the effort for all analog re-issues. Chad's deal with Universal was limited to only UHQR 45rpm and then to provide digital files, from Bernie Grundman, so Universal could make the 33 1/3 versions at $29.99 to sell themselves. Thats a good option for people that don't care about sources but want new releases of these Steely Dan records. Win win. You might notice Universal isn't bothering to make an analog 33 1/3 OR letting Chad do it because they expect the 33 1/3 version to $ell bigger and provide more profit. Then add the CD's and streaming and unlimited vinyl repressing. At least that's what is implied to me. |
