MOFI Releases

[esimms86]

IMO, INSULT to INJURY! While Dutton Vocalion continues to release QUAD SACD TWO~FERS for £12.99 [US$16] and RHINO their fantastic QUADIO and ATMOS BD~A releases for $25 [which are further discounted UNLIKE MoFi] not to mention MoFi's ridiculous wait times for their STEREO SACDs [think Van Halen], now we are subjected to a further increase!

I Have Three Little Words for MoFi: SHAME ON YOU!

Perhaps they’ve changed their name to MoFo?

Remember, MoFi's audience is generally died-in-the-wool audiophiles. whereas Dutton Vocalion ad Rhino's market as far as we at this forum is concerned is quadraphiles. There is some overlap among these groups (like me), but only a small percentage I bet!

I can’t remember the last MoFi purchase I made, and I can’t predict the next one. But it’s going to have to be pretty doggone special.

I'd love to see the Venn diagram of those two uber-small niches!

I'll wait for RHINO's ATMOS remix/remaster on Pure Audio BD~A for $25, Thank you!

I hope MoFi will finish out the catalogs of Doobie Brothers, Van Halen, and Billy Joel on SACD.

When is that new Music Direct catalog coming?

An Atmos of "Mirage" would be cool - but wishing for now is a "mirage"!

I’m not so sure about that as their Fleetwood Mac Dolby Atmos release was underwhelming.

A charge on my credit card from Music Direct moments ago tells me (along with an In Stock listing on the page) that Off the Wall is now available. Not a huge MJ fan, but I have fond memories of this album.

I just ordered it, along with Springsteen at Music Direct.

Your post is a shocking reminder of what MJ used to look like.

Gene, your credit card just fell into a sinkhole. And it’s only mid January.

Not gonna lie... I had that same thought.

It’s because of GOS that I started a spreadsheet last year to track purchases. With my re-entry into vinyl (along with the usual suspects of quad, Atmos and boxsets), 2024 was not the year to track purchases.

I thought this year would be lighter because the vinyl library building of old stuff is done. But between new vinyl, some boxsets and SACDs, I’m already up to over ... well, a lot. And as you say, it’s only mid-January!! I was probably better off living in ignorance of what I spend on music.

Well, now you're possibly going to have a copy of Close To The Edge in vinyl, whether you really wanted it or not. At least you and GOS can enjoy it (I don't own a turntable).
