Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update

@nonoise great graphic! 

Didn’t follow this. But it sounds like no one was the wiser until a some guy makes a YouTube video. Up to that point, no one said, “Hmmm. Ya know, I think this is really a digital master.”  🤔

Only fools do not like being made fools.

I am not a Lawyer, and I hadn’t been following the story since it first came out, but after reading the link it appears that the settlement was reached a while ago; but that some people were claiming that the Lawyers involved were colluding with MoFi to limit the payout, and it’s this latest claim that was rejected.

I do believe that MoFi was being intentionally dishonest in their marketing, and don’t wish to rehash that, but the settlement seems more than fair to me. What do people expect? Would that every company that misleads with its advertising suffer some sort penalty..  If MoFi somehow manipulated the process to get “Friendly “ Lawyers then they did a lousy job.  With Friends Like These…”

@zgas-music  In 2017-8 Purchased a MoFi Gain2 Japanese version(SUP 46-8) of Santana Lotus. Had the US released CD version which just sounded OK. Played the MoFi vinyl and it sounded nearly identical. This was my most expensive vinyl purchase at that time, to say I was diappointed would be an understatement. Did I still think that Lotus was from an analog master tape? Since I have not heard the original Japanese Lotus pressing who knows. Since then I have never even considered purchasing newer MoFi vinyl. Take in consideration many of the customers that have  been purchasing MoFi vinyl the past 5+ years.... Many are only record collectors NOT Audiophiles. Many have no concept of Hi-End sound when playback is on a sub-par system. In conclusion don't assume all Audiophiles were fooled by Mo Fi.
