The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them
@bdp24 - understandable, but I would argue that the 45s are not changing the order of the songs the artists prefer, only the pacing between them. Many of my jazz 45s only have a song or two on a side anyhow. This only other pop/rock 45 I own (asi...

@bdp24 - you're a higher roller than me if you don't think $3-400 for the 4 LP KoB isn't real money. When you are talking $20K, then you are talking about an investment....Zeppelin is OK, but I don't have any of their stuff and have non interest i...

BTW the 4 LP set goes for over $300 on Discogs...

@bdp24 - watched Michael Ludwig's video.He is obviously a pal of Chad and Bernie's, which is fine, but I think there is some bias. He rated the Mofi 45 an 8/10 and the new 45 UHQR 10.5 (which is ridiculous of course - it's like someone giving 110...

@pratorious - I was under the impression the SD titles would be offered thru AP in a “typical” audiophile release at 45 like is available for Two Against Nature and Everything Must Go. They were released on record store day last year on regular vi...

@pratorious - Is an analogue tape copy better than a digital tape copy if the sampling is high enough? It's still a copy. I know that way back starting with Fleetwood Mac's Tusk in the early 80s, some records were recorded digitally. I remember th...

In Chad’s video announcing the Steely Dan UHQR:s, he says Aja and Gaucho are based on digital, not analogue because of analogue tape availability. Like I said, i doubt if it will impact sales of those titles, and when he said the numbers being pro...

Whoever is quoted on You Tube lying didn’t speak for Mofi. I can’t find any materials where they say the records ate produced 100% analogue through every step. Now that this controversy is out there, Mofi states how each record uses any digital s...

I don't think there was deceit. Perhaps not being as honest of every detail about each stage of the mastering. Does anyone care about the number of bits in the DSD file or the size and speed of the tapes used? Come on.  All we should care about i... 
MoFi controversy
What about Speakers Corner? Excellent, discounts available, but for some reason they don’t get that many titles. My Steely Dan Can’t Buy a Thrill is from them and it's incredible. The AS UHQR doesn’t tempt me, but if anyone out there has my reissu... 
MoFi controversy
I was under the impression that any authorized retailer selling Mofis had to charge list price and not scalp like what happens in the resale market. I think Elusive Disc buys from individuals AND manufacturers, and in this case they probably paid ... 
MoFi controversy
Hey Raul - where did you get that (only $10K left) from? They’re selling it for almost double retail. It’s sold out on the retailers who carry them straight from Mofi, Acoustic Sounds and Music Direct.   You can probably get a better deal from pr...

Because it sounds great on vinyl too and I only listen to records.  
Where did you buy your first audio gear?
Can't believe nobody has mentioned Korvette's, that long gone 60's-early 70's era precursor to Target, or maybe Walmart - I was too young to know anything - my Dad got it for me for I think my 14th birthday. It was an "all in one" one piece (of cr...

My Cannonball Adderley One Step is pre-sold out and not even shown to be able to be preordered anymore. Mofi is overwhelmed with demand and every One Step ever made in the last 5 year has sold out. Maybe this nonissue (to me) will cause the resale...
