| Late night blues I always recommend "Midnight Blue" by Kenny Burrell. Although the music is technically jazz, it has a bluesy, late-night, smoky vibe. Blues aficionados all have it in their collections. | |

| MoFi controversy @twoleftears Interesting article. Plenty of opportunity to mention that their modified Studer contains an analog to digital converter and why they do the transfer this way, but no mention of it at all. In the youtube video with the MoFi masterin... | |
| MoFi controversy Yes, the DSD on the UltraDisc One-Step description and images has been added since the story broke. | |
| MoFi controversy @clearthink I guess that people can disagree on whether MoFi calling their vinyl mastering process Ultra Analog and not disclosing that the master tapes are converted to digital is lying or not, but it’s not being open and straightforward when the... | |
