Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab has been cutting vinyl from digital since a long, long time ago...

    Really?
    This is from 2021

    Over the past few years I've gotten only one record for review (that was wrong and to Mobile Fidelity music side I must apologize. I've gotten more than a few records to review since I reviewed and raved about the One Step Monk's Dream in April of 2020. My timeline was stunted by "Covid compression". Actually more than a few records did show up after that and I apologize to Mobile Fidelity for getting the timeline wrong. It's been quite a while since I got a record from them but that's mostly because nothing's been released in some time. Though after I asked for a copy of Jeff Beck's Truth album I got a copy and gave it a well-deserved great review).

    Not disagreeing with that.

    You feel some people are "doing it wrong" and I'm stating it's a very limiting mindset. My "live & let live" approach to music and what/why people buy or don't buy keeps getting in the way so I'm moving on.

    I'll be working for the next two days so enjoy the weekend for the both of us.

    He actually said he got a bunch after April 2020.

    He could have come out of this looking good.
    'Good job Mike E'
    'I was mistaken'
    'It just goes to show how good they are'

    Instead he took the low road

    yes I meant people who buy for sound not some nostalgic value or otherwise, I should’ve worded better but my point was made clear in the end

    After reading the WaPo article, I think the MoFi team was so disorganized that they would have let Fremer in there and excoriate them, except that Fremer let himself get outmaneuvered so it ended being Mike E being the public face of the outrage.

    All this just underscores my point that vinyl is more of a belief system than anything else.

    At least they use DSD as the source. At the margin I feel DSD is better than PCM hi res; as long as the source was an analog tape and an EQ is applied in the analog domain before converting to DSD. Or of course the recording was direct to DSD.

    I still don't get why people want PCM converted to DSD.

    I always thought MoFi was a bit scammy but of course some of their releases are quite good.

    It seems more likely that he wouldn’t have excoriated them but instead provided an opportunity to save face w some friendly guiding soft balls.

    Sadly true. A long time ago is two weeks now. But, plenty of folks here are into history, minutae or using their brains for something that interests them, so we may forget about it (until the issue comes up again), but we are doing this for posterity- memorializing what happened for future generations.*
