I'll take a Nightly - I'm a listener not an investor after all.I’m waiting for lots of collections of these audiophile releases to flood the market at low prices but I suspect that won’t happen
There are audiophiles out there saying, 'oh I am not going to buy MoFi anymore, Analogue Productions (fill in your favorite label) are more honest, etc...'. If you really think that, you are naive.
WTF happened between 11:43 and 11:44 in that video?! Looks as if he's been ranting for hours and decided to edit it all out!
Michael Fremer’s current take. He is in a really awkward position, in many ways the victim here as MoFi clearly hung him out to dry given he has pretty much built his career on being anti-digital. He then made a spectacularly bad error of judgement in attacking Mike at In Groove in the first video, and whilst there was no apology here, he appears to have rowed-back substantially. I detect a few goal-posts moving...
The whole thing is a fascinating little spotlight on how the audiophile industry works. In this series of videos we have all of the chain represented from manufacturer (MoFi), the paid reviewer (Fremer), the record dealer (In Groove), and the end user (Michael 45rpm). In this particular scenario the latter two behaved impeccably IMHO. The former two rather less so.

How does Mofi square some of the funky EQ's on their releases, that clearly deviate from the original? I can understand some bass being 'added' where it might have been necessarily omitted several decades back, but some just sound like they've quirky mids and high frequencies etc.
That point might be lost on some investors!Nightly was recorded digitally in the first place, so you're safe with that one at least
Yes, it was some obscure very early digital format that has been all but impossible to play since
I’d be surprised if that was true. AP’s Chad Kassem has already brought cameras into his cutting and manufacturing process. Given what he is selling, and how precisely he is selling it it would be commercial suicide to lie. I suspect this situation will force others to do similar. My suspicion is this will do huge damage to MoFi, it may even wipe them out, and it is nothing to do with the digital aspect. It is all about integrity.
I assume you mean Nightfly...... I think Gaucho is the same, but I may be wrong there.
it never occurred to me that Gaucho was digital, but I always found the bass on 'Hey Nineteen' all over the place, and cymbals sometimes sound compressed (Glamour Profession) though you never know what damping the kit had etc...
