Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon MoFi Reviewed Sonic Grade: D- to B+ (depending) Now that we’ve had a chance to hear scores of the best import pressings of Dark Side, we know -- better than anyone, if I can be so bold -- just how good that record can sound. No MoFi is ever going to compete with one our our White Hot Stamper pressings -- they have energy and rock power that is nothing less than astonishing. Playing so many MoFi copies this time around made one thing very clear: the average MoFi pressing of Dark Side is really a piece of junk. So COMPRESSED, so THIN, so PHONY in the upper midrange and BOOSTED on the top end. The typical MoFi is as artificial sounding as the average store bought CD.

(Or phony audiophile recording by the likes of Chesky or Audioquest.) Sku #: pinkfdarks_mofi_debunk Manufacturer: Mobile Fidelity Qty. The transparency and clarity Mobile Fidelity achieved through their high resolution cutting equipment and silent Japanese vinyl is what fooled all us audiophiles, but the truth is out. Most MoFis of Dark Side don't ROCK. They don't have the energy and they don't have the weight and power down low, or anywhere below the midrange for that matter.

Others don't even have transparency going for them. They're dull and opaque along with all the other shortcomings we've listed.

If You Want the Real Thing If Dark Side is one of your all time favorite albums, and you have lots and lots of money to spend on it, we recommend you wait for one of our killer Hot Stamper pressings, especially if you have a Big Dynamic Speaker system that can do it justice. Having said that, this copy gives you dramatically more of what we look for in a Dark Side than the average MoFi pressing, side two especially, and the vinyl is quiet, so at the price you are getting your money's worth. If you prize transparency, this copy gives you plenty. You will hear into the soundfield like you never have before.

A Hot Stamper MOFI? How did our first MoFi Dark Side shootout from years ago come about you ask? Usb Mouse Driver For Linux Source Code. Ortho-flex Serial Number more. Well, it's kind of an interesting story, one which we tell in great detail. A number of subjects are discussed including pressing variations for MoFis, their tendency to make poor choices when EQ'ing their records, and the fact that we here at Better Records were guilty of the same Bad Audiophile Thinking that is at the heart of the High Fidelity Limited Edition LP.
