MY THANKS for ANY AND ALL TRUE MFSL Flac and Wave Uploads. The quality of these uploads can make a shitty little car CD player all of sudden sound like a 50,000 Watt Jam Session with a front row seat. PLEASE UPLOAD MORE TRUE MFSL (BEWARE OF THE FAKES, SOFTWARE CAN BE USED TO TEST WITH)
BTW: I am in NO WAY related to MFSL, their employee, bosses, or anything remotely like that. I have never seen their studio, I am only a small time Audio Engineer that was trained at the American RECORDING WORKSHOP, just like about another million or so were, and 99.9% of us had to find jobs filling positions other than recording music, or audio of any kind. All I know about them is what I have learned online and the recordings I have heard and examined, did comparison tests on and did a few other basic comparison tests as well. This was done for the love of it, not to inflate MFSL's CD sales or inflate anybody's egos.
INFORMATION ABOUT M.F.S.L. and the very basic reasons audiophiles seek them over most any other source recording:
Most of you reading this likely already know what I am saying here, so please just ignore my writing in such a case and move on. I just wanted to take this moment to try to help to bring some other music lovers up to speed on what is going on when we speak of M.F.S.L. CDs, and why so many of us want them.
For starters they are made in California USA. I believe DCC Gold remasters are made (press) in Japan. Some sight America as a preferred location for making audio discs for either economic, reputation (?), or they might know people or see them on the job and have observed how much effort they put into their discs. One other BIG FACTOR is the RESALE VALUE OF THE ACTUAL 24K GOLD MFSL COmpact Discs with no wear or damage to them- BECAUSE THEY ARE PRODUCED IN VERY SMALL LIMITED Limited Quantities! Thus most music lovers are forced to settle for a good COPY of such a disc, because in a very short period of time their marketing strategy has taken root and we have already witnessed a ton of their discs being released brand new for say $30.00 (USD) and within a few years after production as long since ended we see prices easily reach $100 to $600 from popular "MTV" Era (When MTV actually played music videos- say the 1980s to mid 1990s)
MFSL's reputation for top notch quality, like this upload, that are the results of a remix from only the 1st generation raw master recordings and total remaster the new mix done with only top of the line audio hardware and Mastered only on 24K Gold Plated discs at 1/2 the original recording speed. For those that have not heard, many studies suggest that the acid in the paper of many common CD booklet and inserts can "eat" into a stored CD, within common full size Jewel Cases which result in many discs having a greatly reduced lifespan to less than 20 years in some cases. Most 24K Gold discs, sell blank for about $1.10 (USD) wholesale. In either case, these new gold plated compact discs, such as what MFSL puts out appear to have an expected lifespan of 100 to 300 years! We may not be around to find out for sure, but as of now using GOLD Blank CD-Roms (DVD too) is the very best method known to store video picture and music of family and loved ones in the average home.
Gold CDs are the way of the future, and there is a large market for remixing great selling older CDs which never had a mix used on them favorable to compact discs in the first place (Hey, in those days the VIDEO sold the discs!). Some of the first generation Audio compact discs from West Germany were simply made by using the old so-called "master recordings" as the CD source with little to no changes made to the mixer settings. I still have a box full of CDS made in West Germany before 1985 that has analog tape hiss very obvious before the first note of the first song can be heard. It appears no effort to remix such hissing sounding master production tapes was made on millions of early generation audio discs. Comanies like MFSL go back in time and get the REAL 1st generation recordings of each instrument,
