I don't. I have three different copies of Blood on the Tracks. My favorite is a high res download for $18.00. The original record was is not near as good. I'm sure the MoFi disc is great but not for $200+ dollars. That is just taking advantage if audiophile silliness.
How do you justify $125.00 for a new vinyl record
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks 180g 45RPM 2LP Box Set https://www.mofi.com/product-p/mfsl45ud1s-006.htm
now going for $200.00+
This record and many like it were cut from a digital copy of the analog master tape which means it has stereo + mono depth perception so a comparison to a 1st pressing with stereo + stereo depth perception will expose the truth about how inferior the sound quality is. Back in the 50’s,60’s,70’s vinyl was vinyl and that was that.Now you have a choice based on how much you are willing to spend as to how much the sound quality will suck. l can damn sure bet you that a digital download at 16/44 using an allpass filter to remove the dynamic compression for the loudness wars and then re-encoded with the 33 hertz frequency will blow the mofi vinyl away.

guitarsam This record and many like it were cut from a digital copy of the analog master tape ...You might want to get your facts straight. Mobile Fidelity prides itself on its mastering process: "... all Mobile Fidelity product is mastered directly from the original master tape ..." Read about MoFi here. |
While I would agree it is hard to comment when you have not heard it I can agree with the sentiment in general on the ever increasing spiral of pricing on new and remastered lps. Obviously demand and it being a still booming niche market has a big effect on pricing but $100+ for new records? Now I will admit to having paid just over $100 for some older rare records that I wanted to complete my collection of a certain artist and that again is market driven and maybe more fool me...lol. |
