| Turntables I got the P8 when they first came out to replace my P5 (did the arm first). The arm especially is excellent. It is clean and adds nothing to the sound, which is what you want in a table. Not sure if the P10 is worth almost double the money. I hav... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them Cool. Anybody that buys all the UHQRs (or One Steps for that matter) is an investor/collector and is fine for AS & Mofi, but they drive the prices up for the true fans. Whenever I see a great album for sale thats brand new, I don’t think that ... | |
| 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... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them @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... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them BTW the 4 LP set goes for over $300 on Discogs... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them @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... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them @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... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them @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... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them 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... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them 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... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them 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... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them Because it sounds great on vinyl too and I only listen to records. |
