Any thoughts on which would be preferable - a 180 gram version of a record or a MFSL version? I am considering buying a copy of the Band's first album. The 180 gram copy is new; the MFSL is used, rate NM.
the mfsl line had superb quality control and pretty good sound. some of the newer pressings of the same records have 'as good', or 'better' fidelity, but the qc for surface noise is non existant.
Many of the Gary Georgi mastered MoFis do sound very boosted in the highs and lows, "Aja" is a good example, however "Music From Big Pink" was in the first bunch mastered by the great Stan Ricker and pressed at JVC in Japan. It is beautifully balanced, as most of the Ricker masterings are. Highly recommended and has the added benefit of very quiet surfaces.
