I agree with you both about judging records on how the music sounds. The benefit of half-speed remastering was well promoted and l believe it would raise SQ assuming the playback gear is ready. I never believed Mofi had all those master tapes which 'one step' required but they implied that they did... In the cd world I remember the fuss over 24 bit remasters but many had limited dynamic range.

I have few of Abbey Road Studios half speed cutting records and to me they have been better quality, especially the vinyl record itself and better value.

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

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

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 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.

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.
