@goofyfoot Thank you very much for taking your time and explain this in more detail. You really seem to be extremely knowledgeable about this. In your opinion do the MOFI 24k cds sound better to you than the reg Redbook cds ?
Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs
Ok soooo here’s my question. Since I upped my amps to the ARC Ref 750s and my ARC Ref 6 to 6 SE. I have been thinking of buying a lot of the Mobile Fidelity 24k cds. What are you guys opinions on them as far as betting sound quality than the standard CDs. Some of them are going for a few hundred. But a lot range from about 40 and up to 400. Now I really don’t plan to send over 100. But even when u are starting to buy a bunch even at 40 to 80$ they really start adding up big time. Oh btw I also have a Rega ISIS CDP that I absolutely love. I don’t do LPs and I don’t stream never wanted to and never will. Not my thing. For the guys that know alot about those Mo Fi 24k CDs please let me here ur options on them good or bad.

@68pete ok. Thanks for that information. Question. Are MOFI 24k CDs the same as SACD ? Are they both considered the same as far as sound quality? Except that the MOFI 24k will play on a reg cdp ? I apologize for sounding stupid. |
@tattooedtrackman The only reason a MOFI CD would sound better than the original Redbook CD is because of the remastering. When most anyone buys a MOFI CD it’s because of the remastering. The only other possible reason would be to get the SACD file of that recording. Keep in mind that these original Redbook recordings are converted to SACD, they’re not recorded that way and there is legitimate question as to whether converted files to SACD offer anything other than an oversized file.
