Sounds pretty damn good to me.

Shhh Michael. I've still got about thirty MoFi lps to sell. I see that they are basically near settled in their class action suit against MoFi. www.billboard.com/pro/mofi-analog-vinyl-scandal-settlement-customers-object/"MoFi Reaches Multi-Million Dollar Settlement Over Analog Vinyl Controversy, But Some Buyers Object Purchasers now have the option to: 1. A full refund plus tax and return shipping for returning the records. 2. Keep the records, and receive a 5% refund. 3. Keep the records, and receive a 10% coupon toward a future purchase." Expected to cost them about 25 million.

Possible next MoFi press release ... "Unfortunately due to the increased cost of oil caused by Putin we've reluctantly had to put our prices up by 11%. We're devasted about this but we're sure the quality of our product will more than make up for the fiscal pain we are passing on to our customers. ... Oh, and we'd be very disappointed in anyone who thinks this is a cynical move designed to pay for our lawsuit settlement."

Followup lawsuit... Historical claims for producing bad sounding records

Post by cooksferry on Feb 16, 2023 20:18:53 GMT 12
Yes MoFi should have been more transparent but I see it mainly as a Lawsuit by people with hurt feelings when they discovered their ears aren't golden after all. Fancy not being able to tell the difference between AAA and digital sourced vinyl. If the records sounded good before any reveal then they're still good.
Personally the only criteria I've used in 60 years of buying records is whether I like the artist/music. Mastering chains and engineers is a criteria that's never entered the picture. Most of my MoFi lps were purchased on that basis and that I liked they are generally better pressed and packaged than many other releases.

If I have a criticism of the latter day MoFi it's their adherence to reissuing audiophile approved boomer music. Does the world need yet more Paul Simon, Carol King, Eagles, Miles Davis etc.
Outside that circle they have turned out some great sounding music like the two Dead Can Dance lps in their Silver Series for instance or the mono Surrealistic Pillow.
They're not the only reissue label treading the same well worn path though so I guess that's where the money is.

Yep, its us boomers with the money to spend on high priced audiophile reissues and the need to relive our youth.

The mono Surrealistic Pillow is amazing and single-handedly made my investment in a dedicated mono arm/cartridge worth it. I think Richard Thompson -Rumour and Sigh and the Ry Cooders sound pretty good as well.

The original Rumor and Sigh had a lot of music crammed into a single lp so spreading it over a double is a real positive.
