Re: Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs

Has any audiophile out there suffered from poor MFSL pressings ?

I just don't get it. They used to have the best pressings money could
buy, but recently (maybe not so recently) they have gone down hill, in
my opinion.

I just purchased their latest UHQR release, SGT. PEPPER. Oh boy,
I just could not wait to put it on the turntable. Voila,  distortation
in Lucy in the Sky, crap; AND ticks in It's Getting Better. If the
record was not so heavy I would have smashed it to pieces.

Back it went to MFSL.

If this was the only MFSL pressing I had problems with, no big deal.
But I also returned two copies of the WHITE album ! 

I followed all their directions, rechecked and realigned my cartridge
all to no use. I only hope and pray their 13 l.p. package of the Beatles
is better quality.
