I have several MFSL releases. My ears must be deceiving me. I thought I was listening to some of the sweetest sounding music I'd ever heard. The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Frank Sinatra all performed in my living room last night. I didn't realize they brought Gary Georgi or Doug Sax with them. Now that I know I'm not sure that I really care. In an age where 2 channel recordings are being sliced and diced to fit nicely into 5.1 channels I see no problem with somebody using todays technology to make yesterdays recordings more listenable. I'm the biggest Zeppelin fan on the planet and I've yet to hear a better then mediocre recording of their music. Including the new Classic releases. I'm guessing the reason is the original studio recordings were sub-par. If MFSL could work their magic and bring these songs to life...the way they were meant to be heard...well send them to me if you don't want them.
MFSL issues...
I'm more record collector rather than seeking the issue that sounds better such as MFSL or other re-issues on vinyl but it happend to me to spot a cheap MFSL of Led Zeppelin II and I realized that MFSL(particularly in this case) sounded totally different from original. There was no issue LZ II I heard with such extended bottom end and blooming-airy highs. The vocal was put background while the original issue has foreground vocal.
So, What's going on there? Did they equalize or boost bass before pressing?
It seems to me the case when they're trying to bring the record to the audiofile standard and if this is the case, I just bought the first and the last MFSL issue.
