 Anyone in on this ?  I sent in paperwork 4 weeks ago requesting refund. Haven't heard anything yet .Realize its going thru a law firm, just wondering what others experience has been so far.  TIA

I chose not to bother. MoFi delivers on superior sonics, but was less than honest in their marketing which likely wouldn’t change my purchasing decisions. Besides, iirc vinyl cannot be strictly processed to be 100% analog using the current recording tools. Although honestly is important in personal relationships, marketing exaggerations/hype are common in business. If the product didn’t perform as expected AND I was misled into thinking it would perform, then I’d be singing a different tune

Says who?

It's expensive to record to analog tape, but it is still done. And much of what MoFi remastered and was deceptive about was recorded to analog tape originally. They just couldn't do the reissues AAA because the labels didn't give them the access to the analog tapes they needed to cut pure analog remasters.

For example, there are recordings from the digital era that were recorded purely analog, and remastered for the Tone Poet series. One is Cassandra Williams, Glamoured (2003) released AAA on the Tone Poet series in 2019, and another is Joe Lovano Trio Fascination (1997) coming out as a AAA Tone Poet release Feb 2024.

@dwette after the MoFi debacle, I read it somewhere awhile ago possibly from MoFi’s rebuttal statement. I’m too lazy the dig into the process for your satisfaction. It’s enough for me that MoFi sold me a superior sonic product which is my main interest.  Spending additional time gripping or chasing money from the lawsuit seems like a waste of time

So you have nothing to back up your erroneous claim. Thanks for confirming it. 

The MoFi aspect of your response is just a strawman.
