| Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch? MoFi has it’s detractors (obviously), and the company is to blame for their spotty record (ouch ;-) . However, one needs to know that not all Mobile Fidelity LP’s are created equally. You need to know about the history of the company, who was doin... | |
| Upgrade chat... Rather than upgrading the VPI to Mk.4, look for a TNT-3/4 platter (7/8" lead-lined aluminum bottom, 3/8" Delrin top layer) or TNT-5 platter (5/8" stainless steel bottom, 7/8" Delrin top) and bearing.The subchassis of the VPI has a 1" hole drilled ... | |

The mastering was done at the same time. Chad says he has been asked why A... | |

Acoustic Sounds wa... | |
| Analogue Productions announces May 21st release of ultimate Kind Of Blue LP @tablejockey, AP is doing it in Stereo. The mono vs. stereo issue is widely discussed amongst collectors of late-50’s to the late-60’s recordings.
