MFSL cd's vs. Redbook cd's

the mofi cd's are a hit and miss. some sound great, while others are flat and lifeless. as mentioned, some newer cd's do sound fantastic. it's great to hear that some musicians are putting time and effort (and $) into the production. in answer to Djones1915, the quality of the cd does make a huge difference, but you will realise more of that difference on a highly detailed cd player. whether that cost's $10-20k doesn't really matter, but you probably need to spend money to get the most out of the cd.

I guess it all depends on how good your hearing is Houstonjazzfan. I believe they are very worth the extra especially on 180g vinyl. Does that keep me from sying a great big breath of relief everytime I put on Yes "fragile" gold disk? Not at all my friend! Do yourself a favor if you've invested in a good system.

I always gave the DCC gold discs a slight edge over MFSL.

Thanks everyone for your responses so far. I purchased a Modern Jazz Quartet MFSL cd off of Ebay at a fairly decent price. Hopefully, my ears are good enough to notice a difference once I have a chance to play it in my system.

The MFSL release of Edgar Winter's White Trash is amazing!
