No offence to the MD orders but why the hell should they be getting their copies before people who ordered AND PAID already direct from mofi??
Music Direct and Mofi are the same company in a sense (if not directly). Music Direct "owns" Mofi. So you indicate when you ordered from the MOFI site you already paid? Music Direct doesn't charge until they ship. My personal opinion is just order any One-Step you plan on buying from Music Direct in the future. Check out Mofi's address: Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, Inc. 1811 W. Bryn Mawr Ave. Chicago, IL 60660 USA Check out Music Direct's address: Music Direct 1811 W Bryn Mawr Ave Chicago, IL 60660 And this from the MOFI site: 2001: Jim Davis of Music Direct in Chicago purchases the proprietary mastering chain and all intellectual property associated with the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab name. A team of MFSL veterans is assembled to helm technical and engineering departments. Emphasis is placed upon research and development of the mastering chain in both the analog and digital domains.
Just to be pedantic, they may be co-located and share the same owner, but they are not the same company and one does not legally own the other. This misinformation continues to perpetuate on this forum. See a previous explanation here: Mobile Fidelity Ultradisc One Step of SANTANA, BILL EVANS TRIO, etc.*
Agree. See my earlier post, ordered and paid in Jan, told by mofi order not fulfilled and can't give eta. Will not be ordering from them direct again in future. Very Poor.
I sent an email to MOFI once and they never got back to me. I tried to call them and they never picked up the phone. Music Direct always communicates very promptly either by phone or by e-mail.
MoFi, MFSL, and Mobile Fidelity all walk into a bar. Bartender says, "Give me a hi-fi." (I just made that up.)
Ok, I stand corrected in a way, but I bet dollars to donuts that all MOFI placed orders are packed, shipped and fulfilled by or out of the Music Direct warehouse and distribution chain. Since I have never ordered from the Mofi site as I always order Mofi product from MD, I can't be 1000% sure, but I'm quite sure that is the case. Anyone know for sure? Again, regardless I stand by my assertion... ALWAYS ORDER MOFI PRODUCT.. ONE-STEPS ESPECIALLY, FROM MUSIC DIRECT!!!!!
A question if I may... Anyone that ordered from MoFi directly have the tracking info or shipping labels? Just curious as to which coast they shipped from. Last one I ordered from MoFi was The Cars debut from many moons ago.
It is, and it isn't. Did you know that Harman International (as in Harman Karden) bought McIntosh several years ago? McIntosh is still run as an independent company, with all manufacturing still solely in Binghamton, NY. Do you know who now owns Harman International?? Samsung (which is why AKG headphones are bundled with their smartphones). So Samsung owns McIntosh as a parent company, but, for all intents and purposes, run separately. FYI, Brooke at MD splits her time in CS between MD and MoFi.
