Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs
Ok soooo here’s my question. Since I upped my amps to the ARC Ref 750s and my ARC Ref 6 to 6 SE. I have been thinking of buying a lot of the Mobile Fidelity 24k cds. What are you guys opinions on them as far as betting sound quality than the standard CDs. Some of them are going for a few hundred. But a lot range from about 40 and up to 400. Now I really don’t plan to send over 100. But even when u are starting to buy a bunch even at 40 to 80$ they really start adding up big time. Oh btw I also have a Rega ISIS CDP that I absolutely love. I don’t do LPs and I don’t stream never wanted to and never will. Not my thing. For the guys that know alot about those Mo Fi 24k CDs please let me here ur options on them good or bad.
congratulations on your upgrades! MOFI is MOFi. Having said that, the biggest difference between the gold and the aluminum layers, is that there is a small chance that the aluminum ones degrade in time, but the gold one’s pretty much live forever. I’ve bought thousands of CD’s and have had maybe six have issues and these are all factory, not Office Despot copies. All the best. |
@curiousjim I believe the Gold Archival CD’s have a life expectancy of three hundred years. I personally won’t be around to find out. |
@stuartk Totally understand, different stereos render different results. I have Quad 2905 ESL’s and they are very revealing. I will say that ESL’s while great for classical music don’t work all that well with rock/popular music. I wouldn’t say however that my stereo is cold. It’s generally neutral but can sound warm or cold depending on the recording. As far as alternative recordings to MOFI, I recently purchased the MOFI Crosby, Stills and Nash and am wondering if I don’t prefer the Audio Fidelity remaster instead. I’m not laughing at Rhino, the GD box set Europe 72 remasters are outstanding. |
