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.

@tylermunns: No, no mid-70's pressings. I wore out my original; In 1971 I was backing a chick singer who did a coupla songs from the album, and played the album a LOT. "Smackwater Jack" was a lot of fun to play. Drummer Russ Kunkel and bassist Leland Sklar were real good at creating a killer groove and feel. That's why they got as much studio work as they did. 

I used to read TAS back in the 70s when it was literally a pamphlet format with zero ads. It seemed credible to me at the time. Today? Not so much.

I was just struck by the irony that this is the same forum that's hosting a multi-page thread with so many people defending counterfeit Chinese cables. Lie like hell and sell a cheaper product that costs a legitimate manufacturer lost income, no big deal. Lie like hell to sell a higher priced product that swindles the consumer a bit, cue the outrage. I guess it always depends on whose ox is being gored.
