| MoFi controversy Well, MoFi has apologized and promises to do better: mobilefidelity on Instagram: "We at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab are aware of customer complaints regarding use of digital technology in our mastering chain. We apologize for using vague language,... | |

| IsoAcoustics Gaia w/MAGICO @vule I don't think many people will spend 2 1/2 hours watching the podcast you linked. Could you summarize their findings for us? | |
