Bogus Ratings for MOFI SACD's


I wonder if anyone else has had this experience?   A friend of mine and myself both recently received a new MOFI SACD of Blue by Joni Mitchell.  We both have excellent highly resolving systems capable of hearing what is on a disc.  I probably own about 35 MOFI SACD's and they range from good to excellent and were all an improvement on the original redbook disc.  Blue on the other hand was terrible and when i wrote a review they would not publish it.  They said "With regards to us not posting less than 5 star reviews – reviews 3 stars and below do not auto publish".  So as the old Latin phrase goes,  "Caveat Emptor".   I find my level of trust in Music Direct and MOFI has decreased greatly since this incident.  Thoughts anyone?

I once wrote a very polite but negative review of a remastered Chicago Transit Authority LP. They never published it. Oddly, it even mentioned that a previous Mo-Fi release of CTA was among my favorite LPs. I never submitted another review to Music Direct after that.

You can post your review at HRaudio.net. it's a decent repository for high-res audio reviews.

I still trust Mofi and Music direct.I’ve known many workers there. Jim Davis the owner is very humble.
