The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them

Yeah Valin is just another low life human being. No morals or ethics. Remember the "loaner" cables he tried selling! I've stopped reading TAS many years ago.

Facts known by most, not all.

1. Mobile Fidelity owns & distributes a number of audio brands: https://mofidistribution.com/our-brands/

2. Mobile Fidelity is owned by Music Direct, who distributes and deals a whole lot more audio brands:
https://www.musicdirect.com/brands/

I encourage people to flip through TAS and see what the percentage of ads come from one of the brands that are listed in the two links above and come to your conclusions on whether there is any true separation between church and state in the support for the brands covered in editorial vs the advertising.

So, we owe Mofi a debt of gratitude for keeping vinyl alive?  No, Mofi owes me/we audiophiles who buy their way overpriced reissues.  I won't be buying any more.  How many different copies do we need of Santana Abraxas or PF DSOTM?  Lie to me once, shame on you, lie to me twice, shame on me.

I'm really curious as to why Fremer left Stereophile for TAS. They must have made him an offer he couldn't refuse.I gave up on TAS when Robert Harley took over.

I miss JGH, curmudgeon though he was.
