Is MOFI L. Ronstadt Prisoner in Disguise better?

>>03-17-10: Rhljazz
The point I was attempting to make was that the Mo Fi Prioner LP was sonically superior to the average original release Ronstadt LP as played through my system.<<

And my point is that is useless information. You simply cannot compare 2 different recordings/pressings and draw any worthwhile conclusions.

It is purely speculative/meaningless and really is a disservice to the readers here.

I just played the MOFI Prisoner and the Original Prisoner back to back again just to see if I was on glue. All I can say is NO CONTEST. The original blows it away in extension, separation, presence, body and "detail" if you can believe that. I am NOT on glue after all. I thought it was my phono section for the mish mosh sound of the Mofi. I am happy to say that their is nothing wrong with me phono section or alignment. MOFI needs to get someone who knows how to press vinyl because this was a major waste of money or a really horrible pressing. The "Don't Cry Now" re-release is not much better What happened to Stan Ricker anyway? This does not sound like his work.

If your thinking of buying the MOFI, don't waste your money, getthe original for 2 dollars.

Let us know how it sounds when you straighten out your mistracking and anti skating problems.

I can tell you that the problems are so evident, that it will not make a difference. It is the sound of the mastering that sucks. The original is much more natural. It is just no contest. Check for yourself. If you like Linda Ronstadt, the original goes for about 2 bucks compared to 35 bucks, again, no contest.
