I have read that the sound quality is Mofi's strong selling point. Hence the high prices of the records.

The good ones I have are very good but when you are spending sometimes as much as £10 more than another copy so it should be.

The price reflects the product. They are seen as the best records and I can see they would use the best signal processing and record production for this.

I didn't want to comment too much on this because there are huge threads on other forums and I've already commented there.

The issue is lying to customers, full stop. Not anything else.

Not only did they lie in their marketing materials but they lied over private emails to customers. I was a customer that received one of those emails.

Luckily I didn't spend anywhere near as much on MOFI product as some folks I know. There are people that spent thousands of dollars on their stuff over the last 5-10 years.

In any case, MOFI won't get a cent from me going forward, and that includes the parent company Music Direct.

There are companies that put out records that are just as good or better and charge less.

Especially in the last few years, MOFI focused on their One Step series which is MSRP at $125 a pop. You get one album and a worthless box of dead air. They don't even include the original jacket art inside and then they lie about the source used to make the record.

I used the term "seen as the best" because it is the only way to explain such high prices.

Right. Certainly the marketing hype wanted everyone to believe that! :)
