The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them

I have bought a couple MO Fi products.  LP and CD.  Can't see, or hear, what all the fuss is about.  I have 40 year old vinyl that sounds every bit as good as the MO FI original masters re issue.  Maybe if I upgraded my amps power cord it would all become clear? 🤣

The whole digital debacle is an issue that could be forgiven over time, but MoFi putting themselves on a pedestal as industry leaders of audiophile vinyl is grossly overstated.

  The last several years of MoFi pressings I purchased have been hit and miss at best. The quality control is non-existent. I have received some truly horrendous sounding/looking albums. This is an area they need to prioritize first. 

What do you expect from an audio magazine that gives every product they review a glowing review, the best of the best. This MoFi issue just makes my point that hires digital sounds as good or better than analog, that's why I sold everything analog years ago.

Back to Valin and Fremer: these 2 reviewers are so biased in their fields, you just can't read any of their reviews. Valin is biased toward Magnepan speakers which I think sound pretty bad for the money especially the 30.7's and he is biased toward analog. Which brings me to framer which is off the wall biased toward analog. I have read Fremers reviews on non-analog products and his bias comes out in these reviews, can't red them, These are the reasons I cancelled my subscription

No @hotei, and no one is saying that. But their ethical behavior over the past 15 or so years certainly has been.

It doesn't matter anymore, there are plenty of audiophile LP reissue companies putting out fantastic product: Analogue Productions, Speakers Corner, Vinyl Me Please, Intervention Records, Sam Records, Run Out Groove, Light In The Attic, Jackpot Records (a new label out of Portland, Oregon), Blue Note, Exhibit Records, Anti Records, a dozen more.

The Absolute Sound piece was a disgrace. And anyway, if Mobile Fidelity believes that its DSD are so good (which, by the way, I have no reason to disbelieve) it begs the question as to why they are being released in vinyl rather than exclusively on in a native DSD format.
