threshold: why the hostility? i have around 2000 or so cd's and >5,000 lp's, including >250 mofi (lp's) i also have a very high quality audio sysytem that i use to play the music i favor. i have a number of mofi cd's in my collection, both gold and aluminum, including all of those on your list. IMHO, these cd's, for the most part, are not much better than the originals and none is better than the analogue version. i buy and sell on ebay, too. indeed, i sold 7 sealed beatles mofi's (lp's) in a one-week period for a total of $850.00. truth is, people will buy damned near anything they feel is "collectable." in the case of mofi cd's: the fact that people are willing to pay way too much for them doesn't enhance their sound quality. but, hey, if you like 'em, buy 'em and play 'em. just don't try to tell me, or anyone else for that matter, that your opinion is anything but your opinion. to each his own, eh?
