In Reply to: "MoFi Gate"..... Recent Mobile Fidelity Vinyl Has Been Digitally Mastered.... [yt] posted by Todd Krieger on July 24, 2022 at 05:05:54:
MoFi is culpable if it was disingenuous about digital mastering, but the real scam is vinyl as a medium in the present-day-and-age.Vinyl does not and cannot capture music with the same fidelity as digital: PERIOD , full stop.
The thing is that many folks like the filtering that vinyl provides, i.e. limited bandwidth, dynamics, and distortion. But I'm thinking it ought to be possible to create a DSP device the would closely mimic the vinyl effect.
My hope would be that it would put the scammers selling LPs, turntables, cartridges, and phono preamps out of business in short order -- probably not, though, people being as gullible as they are.
NOT the 51st state, eh!?!
