MFSL CD's - Are they worth it?

Are they worth it? Yes, some are at the original retail price of 30.00. The remastered Moody Blues, Elton John, Eric Clapton and Cat Stevens all sound better than the MFSL versions. The current prices that some people are selling is taking all the fun out of collecting. Yes, the company is out of business and they are becoming collectable but 700.00 for The Wall, give me a break. Again, the remastered Floyd is equal or better than the MFSL.We live in a free market and people can sell and buy what they please but to take advantage of music collectors in my opinion is wrong. I have over 4000 cds in my collection but when I really want to listen to the best reproduction, I play vinyl.As good as cds are now, in a quality analog system most records sound better. To paraphrase Dennis Miller "Thats just my opinion, I could be wrong"

Thanks rec, I agree with most of what you say. I do have the Moody Blues (all of them) on MFSL CD's and I think they are better than the current remasters out there. I also have the MFSL DSOM and that sounds way better than the current remaster - I thought my original 1987 CD sounded better than the current remaster! Now Pink Floyd's The Wall MFSL version is not as good as the current remaster and no way is worth $700! I guess that's the bottom line though. Are you willing to roll the dice and pay $30 or more on a CD that might not sound as good as a currently available remaster you can pick up for a fraction of the price? Not only that but you can pretty much hear any CD now before you buy it - something you can't do with an MFSL label!

What a hype. Yes, some are great recordings, but save your money. I just happen to have Beany Babies for sale.

MFSL Gold Cds & aluminum CDs are the best recordings! They are the original master recorders and everyone else tried to copy them. No other label even comes close in accuracy and music definition. The critics of MFSL are ignorant. How can you use an analogy of been bags to MFSL Cds???First of all, like what MFSLgoldCD said, that as long as their is a demand people will pay top dollar. Just check EBAY, he is right about the following and collectors of MFSL GOLD Cds. I have about 50 MFSL gold cds and plan to grow my collection. The performances are incredible compared to today's remastered. So what I say is people that down play MFSL gold cds, don't have a clue on what the market bears today. And they will be sought after for many years as time goes on. Time will tell and MFSL is surely missed as a true great master recorder in the audiophile industry.Their will be many imitators, but only one original MFSL!!
