Do Mobile Fidelity Vinyl Re-issues Have a Digital Step in the Process?

If it's analog...
yes Vertere demoed this at his place. Digitally sourced vinyl compared with the digital files played back through the same benchmark dac it was recorded on.
the vinyl sounds better. He said if this compare had been done in the studio where it was recorded, in the same conditions, it would have been equal, but at his place, the vinyl playback conditions are better than the digital playback conditions
OK- what do you mean?? Start with your initial post about mastering to which I responded.
As someone who wants MQA Ltd out of business, I don’t want Mobile Fidelity gone. I believe adequate remediation would for Mobile Fidelity would be for them to return to their roots occasionally and record steam engines and rare racing cars. And promise to record the surviving Baldwin RF-16s when they are returned to operating condition.

Hell, the SACD's could just be upsampled CD's.. !!!

Here's what a "vinyl" tape machine looks like. It's a screen grab of the machine I had. This machine belonged to Bruce Swedien and I purchased it from his estate, along with "a few tapes"!

It surely sounds different. "Sound better" is a question of preference - if you take professional sound engineers they will probably pick the DSD256 because it sounds closer to what they are used to listen in their control rooms.
It is curious that no one refers to the full technical details of their DSD256 ADC and DAC.
Yes, some years ago we could get such headblocks. See https://reverb.com/uk/item/6469206-studer-a80-vinyl-cutting-headblock . for details At current prices, if the the heads are in good conditions they are worth the asked price!
The plaintiffs are going to have to show they are reasonable consumers. You would have a tough time based on your speakers and amps, by either price or weight. They probably will too.
I downloaded the complaint form PACER and the lawyers missed a few things.
I wouldn't lose any sleep if they did. Karma's a bitch. I'm surprised they thought they would never get found out.
Mike,
Sorry you aren’t enjoying the discussion. But you may “unwatch“ the thread at the top right just above the discussion. That way you shouldn’t get any more notifications for this thread.
it still comes up on news feed. problem is like many threads this is now on repeat.
The DSD file is Zero Step. Far superior !So customers thought they were being sold AAA Vinyl and you want to offer them a DSD file? That just adds insult to injury! Besides customers already have DSD in the record that was deceptively sold to them.
That all depends on the mastering facility. The way we did it was to create a motion file which then was synchronized when the cut was made. But you could do that with analog just as easily. So the tape machine really isn't going to tell you anything unless you can see the preview head on it.
OK- I think in a nutshell I simply have not understood what you were trying to say. It sounded like you were saying that mastering houses use an algorythm for mastering so skilled lathe operators are no longer needed. If that is what you meant, its simply incorrect.
