The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them

I haven't read the article yet but was afraid that would be the outcome. Power protects power at every level. 

The articles were right inline with the soft-balled interview they conducted with Jim Davis. The interview was nothing more than a venue for MoFi to plead its case; there were no questions that pushed Davis on the lack of transparency and pricing. The articles effectively downplay the lack of transparency; and pricing gets sloughed off by Harley in 6 words.

 Valiin's statement in the editorial shows exactly TAS position:

"My bottom line is this: After MoFi spent decades keeping the LP alive and kicking - releasing many, many sonic triumphs pver that span (including several of the One-Steps) - it would be worse than ungrateful of audiophiles not to show some charity here."

"ungrateful of audiophiles" - guess everyone didn’t realize the largesse of Mofi. Valin certainly missed that Mofi produced records to make money.

A well known audio designer and manufacturer writing in another forum has accused TAS of corruption on more than one occasion.  So all of this is no surprise.

But why post this here instead of at Analog?

TAS is nothing but a glorified product catalogue for their advertisers.

Big +1.  TAS reviews read like product ads and nothing more.  Shameful and utterly useless drivel.
