I don't know what Analog Productions is claiming, but Mofi seems to be claiming that they literally bring their own reel to reel and ADC gear to some facility run by the record company, and are given access to the original mixdown master tapes there, for as long as it takes to make their digital copy on-site. That's simply absurd. Digitising a tape requires some/all of the following: Assessment of the asset, possible baking (+1 day), physical restoration (+? hours), machine prep (head block, EQ, Dolby), machine warm-up (+? hours), digitisation. Quite a lot of the time when you put the tape on you realise that you're missing an additional reel that's supposed to go with it (+? days for asset retrieval, baking, etc). So at what point in this process are MoFi turning up and doing their transfer? And what happens when the reel they were expecting to digitise turns out to require a set-up that's different to their special machine that they keep talking about. Logistically, their claim doesn't make any sense. Not to mention the hours positioning the Sonic Hallographs for accurate monitoring.

It's what they claim. Perhaps they pay for baking. Obviously there are details missing. They don't claim it is a quick process.
As for tape setup, what would prevent them from adapting their Studer rig to what's needed?
More plausible still is what usually happens: Big 3 sends remasturbators a copy of their digital master. See: HDTracks.

The Venn diagram of people who say “MoLie”, people who thought they could here the difference between AAA and a digital step, and people who constantly hate-post about their favorite artists is a perfect circle.

Another sucker enters the chat.
Is vinyl too underwhelming?

He needs a tube phono preamp, duh. Many veils will be lifted. If that doesn’t work he needs to get some speakers the size of phone booths with 30-40 tweeters.

He can't hear any microdynamics with that system. Excluding cables he's only looking at like $2500 worth of stuff. I'm pretty sure that only buys an entry level cart. What a looser.
Unless he just doesn't really like records, but that can't be it. True audiophiles know it's all about how much money you've spent.

MonkeyMan is the same guy who says MoLie and MoFaux over and over, the same guy who was gonna burn MoFi vinyl in protest, the same guy who then sent back over $3500 worth of MoFi vinyl to MoFi, and the same guy who is now bitching about not getting his refund yet on all the MoFi vinyl he sent back to MoFi.
He is not -that- stupid, he is even more stupid than -that-.
(If he talked to the sales reps at MoFi the same way he talks in that thread, he’s probably getting the runaround on purpose. Especially if they are watching that thread. What a jackass.)

Calling people out in the classifieds?!? How dare they?!!
