![]() This is an important difference, and the expectations for the sound are very different. One thing that I noticed about MFSL of older recordings, and might be one reason for the sound being different than common releases: Their recordings are often *properly* DolbyA decoded. They choose mostly really good music to re-release. Many of the titles they advertised, I probably would have never discovered the music otherwise. I have discovered much good music that way, thanks to them. I think maybe the best thing about Mobile Fidelity for me, is that before spending big bucks for their audiophile pressings, I often would try to find a regular version LP or CD cheap to see how much I like the music first, before spending big bucks. Robbie Robertson self titled is good on MFSL cd. Might be the best sounding MFSL LP I have heard. I have the Brubeck Mulligan, the MFSL LP destroys it for sound. Some Sheffield too, but not much on there by what we think of as audiophile re-release labels. A few M& K Realtime lps made it: (For Duke & Fatha) direct discs. I looked at it one day to see which half speed master Lp's made the list. The only MFSL that I recall seeing that made the list was the album Slowhand by Eric Clapton. The ones with exceptionally natural sound got an asterisk designation. The Absolute Sound used to publish a 3 or 4 page Super Disc List of hundreds of the ultimate records and cds which have both the greatest music/performances and great sound. ![]()
