| MoFi controversy You have got to be kidding me. I own dozens of Original Master Recordings from Mofi including a couple of One Steps, and would be upset if a ridiculous lawsuit caused them to go bankrupt. Whoever is suing them must not be a music lover, because it... | |
| MoFi controversy Music Direct owns Mobile Fidelity. | |
| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. Have you thought of a Sutherland solid state PS? Extremely low noise floor and it will let the cartridge do the talking. As mijostyn said, tubes are a PITA and IMHO for the equipment hobbyist (whether or not they are really into the music). Plus ... | |
| Your thoughts on selling If you have any valuable records worth over $25, I would sell them myself, so long as you know they are in excellent condition. That way you can be sure the buyer will not complain, or if they do, you have a leg to stand on. For the bulk of the r... | |
| MoFi controversy @dconsmack - MoFi corrected the mistake that some have taken issue with. I didn't care. I want the best sounding record possible. Your organic produce argument doesn't hold weight - there are no health benefits to pure analogue. Not sure why yo... | |
| MoFi controversy To set up an equal quality DAC, streamer, transport, etc. costs more than an equivalent quality sounding vinyl rig. Plus add in some subscription fees and the inconsistency of your ISP and it's not as cut and dry as you think @alexberger If you ... | |
| MoFi controversy @dconsmack - I hope there are lots of people like you out there. It will keep the prices of the used UD 1steps down and keep the scalpers who don't ever play them away. Please continue cutting off your nose to spite your face. | |
| MoFi controversy Sorry about the above sloppy post and duplications. It is impossible to figure out how to embed links and then continue to add text at various places. | |
| MoFi controversy Hey @optimize - https://mofi.com/products/paul-simon-still-crazy-after-all-these-years-ultradisc-one-step https://mofi.com/products/paul-simon-still-crazy-after-all-these-years-ultradisc-one-step That was just to put this issue to b... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? Rega-no brainer | |
| MoFi controversy I only care about the SQ. My understanding about the One Steps is that they improved the vinyl production process (and providing the best vinyl quality) by eliminating 2 steps in the typical lacquer/stamper process where distortions inevitably occ... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . You pays your money, you chooses your distortions. I had an equalizer some 40 years ago and couldn't believe the sound improvement when I unplugged it. I am sure they have gotten better over the years, and if you like the way it makes your system... | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing Anyone can spend whatever they want- if it’s worth it to them is all that matters, Just please don’t say something sounds X times better than something else. it’s like saying one girl is twice as pretty as another or an acting performance was X... | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge I read the threads from the link provided by @rauliruegas and it seems @needlestein was the only coherent poster. Raul is correct - I was wrong when I said VDH has a unique stylus design, but the end cartridges results with the stylus is unique. ... | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge Hey Lew - I haven't researched it, I just have never seen another cartridge company talking about stylus lives of 2500-3000 hours. I typically hear 1500. Maybe 1000. If you listen a lot, a VDH will last 3-4 years. If you use another brand and get ... |
