I believe the Gold Archival CD’s have a life expectancy of three hundred years. I personally won’t be around to find out.
Why not?😀
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.

There is a superiority of gold, but...the issue isn't that it's a gold disc, it's the mastering or remastering of the album. There are some great ones and some ok ones. It also depends on the year of the mastering. Why would you or any else enjoy being raped by someone who horded unopened MOFI releases? Anything more than $40 ,unless a really extraordinary disc, and try not to laugh when you look in the mirror. |
@dobnbav I recently purchased Derik and the Dominos Layla. Aretha’s Gold. Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees. The police Synchonicity. Rod Stewart Every picture tells a story. Eric Clapton Slow hand. Steely Dan Aja. Moody blues Days of future passed. Queen The game. Queen News of the world. Queen A night at the opera. Elton John Honkey Chateau. Elton John Goodbye yellow brick road. Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon. Pink Floyd The wall. The Who. Who are you. The Who Tommy. U2 War. Jethro Tull Thick as a brick. I guess I will be looking in the mirror and laughing 😂 |
Tattoo, it’s your money. And your slightly odd taste in music. Paying huge premiums on reissues you haven’t researched…to each his own. I own a large number of Mofi discs, includes number of SACD’s. Maybe one I purchased used because it was out of print but I didn’t pay $80 and I knew the issue was solid. Frankly, of all my 5000 discs, SACDs, LPs, Blu Rays, and DVDAs, if I bought 50 used, and I think only 2, the other a super rare—only 750 copies were released, online.—John Mayall and Paul Butterfield EP. But as I said it’s your money. |
@dobnbav What do u mean my slightly odd taste in music ? Everyone like and loves different music. And also I know there will always be a market for these if and when I sell them. Also look how much they are going up in value. It’s almost like an investment. |
