Default Lord Hasenpfeffer vs. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (aka What Were They Smoking?!?!?!)

......I still believe that
MFSL either (1) should keep any ****ty CDs they produce off the market
or (2) print the damn (lousy) peak/level readings for each of their CDs'
tracks clearly somewhere on the backside of their packaging so a guy
like me can see exactly what he's getting before he lays down some heavy
bucks for it. IIRC, Capitol's 1994 Remaster only cost me about half of
what that MFSL disc did ... and I enjoy it twice as much!

Over,

Myke -

1. MFSL is out of business. They lost their market when people stopped
caring about carefully produced recordings of the original master tapes.

2. There is nothing deceiving or wrong about selling a CD with peaks
at -6dB. In the early days of CD production (and many experts still agree),
the goal was to set the levels so the noise floor (point of inaudibility)
3dB or so above digital zero. As long as the peaks were all well below 0dB,
it was a good thing.
