The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them

I got a couple MOFI CD's. Gold ones no less! Should I be upset that I got a really clean copy of a really good recording? Don't see a better one on the shelf. But I think MOFI probably owes a chunk of cash to a class-action filing. It's nice to sit this one out since I gave up my vinyl years ago. Good luck!

@pratorious - I was under the impression the SD titles would be offered thru AP in a “typical” audiophile release at 45 like is available for Two Against Nature and Everything Must Go. They were released on record store day last year on regular vinyl and they sound great. Pressed at Pallas in Germany I believe.

I am not an attorney @denverfred , but as far as I know for a settlement  to be awarded/paid, there has to actually be some damages incurred by the class. If the records are worth more than they paid, then what are the damages? The disgruntled analogue historians can just sell them and make a few bucks as audiophiles looking for excellent sound quality will snap them up. 

@sokogear: Michael Ludwig (45 RPM Audiophile on YouTube) has done a video in which he compares his MoFi 45 RPM 2-LP version of Kind Of Blue with his Analogue Productions 33-1/3 RPM 1-LP. I think he may have already compared the new AP 45 RPM 2-LP version to the 33-1/3 as well, but that may have been someone else.

Never trust what Valin says because he is so biased. 
But, I think it’s funny that analog junkies are changing their tune toward these albums, 1 minute they are praising the sound of these albums and when they hear that DSD is involved in the process, now they don’t like the albums anymore. DSD will make the recording better and the sooner people realize this, the sooner you will buy more albums with DSD or just go the streaming DSD route, which is what a lot of us have done

@bdp24 - watched Michael Ludwig's video.He is obviously a pal of Chad and Bernie's, which is fine, but I think there is some bias.

He rated the Mofi 45 an 8/10 and the new 45 UHQR 10.5 (which is ridiculous of course - it's like someone giving 110%). His main issue was too much bass on the Mofi, and also said the UHQR was more natural (whatever that means). I can get $40 from a used record store near me for my Mofi 45 (and save the hassle of selling it myself for $50 or $60). I have seen some complaints about surface noise of the UHQR. The only hesitation (aside from the extra $110) is that it is not the ultimate issue of KoB. My brother in law has a Classic Records issue that has 4 45s with only one side pressed to make the records even flatter that sounds unbelievable. AND they are talking about pressing it on a 78. There are lots of people who want every one of them. Why wouldn't you just listen to the best one and chuck the rest? I wouldn't keep more than one.

I  just wish AS would sell it like the regular audiophile 45s they make without all the excess packaging, booklets, etc for 1/2 the price. Oh well....
