The only thing that bothers me is the lie by omission. I prefer forthright behavior.
Exactly! The final buyer must be informed of what he is buying, without omissions.
MoFi controversy
I see this hasn't been mentioned here yet, so I thought I'd put this out here. Let me just say that I haven't yet joined the analog world, so I don't have a dog in this fight.
It was recently revealed that Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs one step LPs are being cut from digital masters (DSD) rather than being straight analog throughout the chain.
Here is one of the many Youtube videos that discusses it
To me, it seems that if MOFI is guilty of anything, it's "deception by omission." That is, they were never open about the process and the use of digital in the chain.
One thing to mention is that hardly anyone is criticizing the sound quality of these LPs, even after this revelation. Me personally, I wouldn't spend over one hundred dollars for any recording regardless of the format.

I purchased the Yes Fragile MoFi One Step record. I have almost every version of this album from the MoFi Gold cd, to the Blue Ray, the Atlantic cd's and record. None come even close to the One Step. On my MoFi Ulra Deck turntable the sound is second to none by a huge margin. The guitar on Mood for a Day sounds like it's in my room with me. It has more body, texture and realism, that makes every other version sound disappointing. You also need a really good phono stage. I have a CAT preamp. |
