Audiophile Vinyl Roundtable - What's AP’s next "BIG" announcement? Exodus has shipped!+MOFI lawsuit! 

Hey Tim ! Thanx for the mention! Mofi watches A LOT of videos from the larger channels to small ones like me. They saw a video where I talked about being deaf in one ear so I couldn’t be an audiophile, but still love a good sounding recording. Someone very highly up took the time to reach out to me during the scandal. We chatted for about 30 minutes. It was interesting Great video as always Steve. 🎶☮️🎶

Michael 45 has to be on the promo gravy train. Every single record is either “WOW” or “Amazing”. Every. Single. One. Dude hasn’t paid for a record since the first Bush administration.

DMM sounds great, SAE mastered lots. My original modest mouse albums sound incredible.

I have a Japanese Beatles box that is all DMM. Limited to 1000 copies. Never heard of DMM before. 30th Anniversary of the UK blue box.

Dylan's Fragments 230. Great price.

Mazz is the coolest 😎! I think all you guys are cool 😎 too, but Mazz is the tops! Got kind of an innocent "man-crush" on Mazz! My girlfriend laughed at me!

I Just adore what you bring to the table! So much great information, stories and fun with the guests you have . Thanks so much Steve. Special thanks to Mazzy & Tim. My Exodus has shipped. 🎼📦😁

Love those lucky deals we find out there like your REM. I found the Chet Baker Craft boxset for 35 bucks last month. I paid and ran outta there like I was gettin away with something!

Great job...interesting discussion boys! Felt bad for Tim though on the bottom screen ...when Steve and Mazzy get going there is not a lot of room for feedback and discussion for the poor guy on the bottom 🫣🫣🫣

I bought the LZ 45rpm travel case and I remember at the time that shortly after it released, Page cancelled all pressing contracts because Classic didn't have permission to press the 45rpm set.

Many people on Hoffman forums don’t like the Doors ERC The AP45 along w the rest are a killer sounding Doors set

Nice to give props to Bill Callahan, Mazzy! Love Bill. "Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest" sis another gem. I love his wry sense of humour and witty obervations. Great, chill music and smart lyrics.

Again, Mazzy nailed it-$60 is the “sweet spot.” As far as DMM, we’ve been fortunate to have had great experiences with them, they sound terrific!🎧

Hi Steve, been watching your channel lately and it's refreshing compared to most of the other audio/Hi-Fi RU-vidr's it see. Most of them are too pretentious for me but I enjoy your channel because it is more informational than someone's stupid opinion. Love your interviews with people in the industry too. Keep up the good work!

Steve, would be great to see the roundtable discuss favorite albums of the last few years. Would love to add some recent vinyl to my collection!

Couldn't care less of these whatever releases in the future. Pure $-grabs and no, they don't sound great either.

I think one of the best things MOFI could do for the VC is SHIP THE PRODUCT! Its absolutely absurd they still haven't shipped some of these that have been advertised for over a year. Still waiting on that Bill Withers Still Bill (or not passed on it at this point).

Great content Steve. Some negative comments out there and I hope you don't take this as a negative, but get a better mic dude. 😊

Jazz bums buy their records and I even toss them lol

I was today years old when I realized I live an hour away from Mofi's headquarters 😂 Don't know why I never put Sebastopol and Mofi together til now

I'm definitely waiting on the Band on the Run abbey road half speed master, it should be coming up for the 50th anniversary.

I’m not a journalist. I love James Taylor. I want my mofi trip by god

I think that MTV shirt is before they started to suck, am I right?

Bill Callahan was pressed at Smashed Plastic in Chicago

Kevin Welch thought you might like this.

Hey Steve when YOU get invited to mofi , ask if they can pay my way too. I’ll just sit quietly on the sidelines 😂 #roadtrip

Great seeing you guys again, Steve! Nice panel as always

Steve, thanks, your shirt now has the Mtv theme song as an earworm in my ear at 1 am in the morning. Lol Nice video! Thanks.

The Mofi DSD 64 mostly sound better than their DSD 256 More tinkering perhaps on the later Got the Mikes In A Silent Way Mofi and it is more dynamic than the 2 eye original

A bowl of good English pipe tobacco...a "fresh" cup of coffee...and you guys discussing audio...life can't get much better than this. Mr. Pete---------> aging hippie

While I don’t have either the Classic or MoFi Brodge OverbTrpubled Water, I do have the 2 eye and the other, a bit later Columbia one. I got the later not that long after the album came out, and the former some years back. The 2 eye smokes the other. As such I am suspicious of Columbia’s 1970s pressings.

Nice job guys. This is one of my favorite series in the VC. I am looking forward to Craft’s Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis box that’s due out March 3. - Mike

Great video. I would like to say something about SH forum. A friend was banned from that site for no reason . Yesterday . He wind up killing himself and he left a post on his computer . Why ? Was I banned . The most nicest guy .

If Melinda makes a video from here visit, I'd love to see it! Very nice lady!

Good video, guys! I agree with Mazzy on Bill Callahan. I love Dream River.

Great MTV shirt!!!

I passed on the Zeppelin 45's when they were released, think the set was around $500- at the time. $9,500- for a N/M box!! Don't forget to claim the profits on that deal on your 1040. 80,000 new IRS agents on the prowl, be careful.

If Paul goes on tour I'm going.

I really like these round table discussions. I am a little burnt out on all the RU-vid videos from so many channels. Just too much time to follow all of them. But your channel is one of the few I plan on following. Keep it up!

Great round table as always. Thanks guys! 👏🏼

Very interesting discussion.

Hi chaps. I enjoyed the discussion. I am not an audiophile. All MOFI has proved is that Audiophile snobbery has created a market for over priced records, yet not one Audiophile noticed that what they were reviewing from MOFI as excellent were not audiophile copies, I.e. not one audiophile noticed the difference in what they were listening to. Come on chaps just enjoy the music. John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I think it's high time we stop putting all analog mastering on a pedestal. It is, in fact, at this point an inferior process. The Plangent system and other digital processing that corrects ugly errors in analog recording without any loss of musical information are objectively superior and it's high time that fact is acknowledged and embraced. So long as the vinyl community continues to cite and get excited about all analog mastering we will be stuck with the inferior product that results. It's a myth that desperately needs to be buried.

Too much talking from Steve W 🤐

Hey Steve! You sure bring some great people and fascinating conversations here 👍 If I may please just make one lowly and humble suggestion which I think would make our watching more enjoyable... Since you are the host and interviewer, you'll notice that the really good talk show hosts and others like that are very good at sitting back and allowing their guests to talk, which I think you do for the most part. But, I get the impression that maybe your eagerness to join in or instantly respond with an 'Oh yeah' or as the person is talking about an album, you'll almost jump in and ask 'you got that at so-n-so, right?' or maybe 'that was about $40, right? And I think to us as the audience, it might be more pleasant and relaxed if people didn't interrupt each other so much because then to me anyway it starts to make me uneasy and nervous with everyone jumping in and kind of unintentionally interrupting each other, I almost want to turn it off because it kind of starts to get on my nerves. BUT... I really *DO* want to watch so I kind of just try to bear with it 😁 But, I think it would be so nice and pleasant if especially you as the host and the primary guiding force in these interviews (and I KNOW it isn't easy!) just to maybe sit back a bit and let others finish their thoughts, especially when they are talking about an album or something, and maybe kind of hold back that impulse to say anything or fire questions at them while they are talking, you know what I mean? I hope you don't mind the suggestion because YOU are one of the main ones doing this which is great! But, it might be even more enjoyable and easier on us, the listeners, if it could come across a bit more smoothly. I know when there is a silence when someone appears to be done talking about something, that is different and kind of hard to know. Maybe instead of nervously jumping in with a kind of 'Rapid Fire' statement, just develop a smooth calm way to lead into whatever your next point is or calmly say something transitional and then turn the attention to one of the others, something like that. But, primarily when they are in the process of talking, maybe just not interjecting quite so many sounds or questions or even agreements, because it tends to break up the flow of the conversation, then everyone kind of stops at once. But, I think if you take the lead and kind of hone that skill, the others will be able to be more smooth in following your example 😊 I think that way you will almost certainly get more 'Likes' and 'Thumbs Up' because people will find it a much more enjoyable experience. NOT just because of the excellent people and content, but because of the smoother presentation will make it a lot more appealing to the listeners. Not to make comparisons, but perhaps observing Michael 45's style, although I KNOW it is at the other end of the scale compared to your enthusiasm. But, perhaps just incorporating a BIT more of that laid back style here and there to add to the overall smoothness of the presentation. Just my thoughts...

Steve, another great vid, man. Great cast with Mazzy, Tim, and yourself. That’s some beautiful gear, btw. I dig the KEF blades with that Chord Dave DAC. MoFi should really reach out to the VC and certain people within it for interviews. I dunno, maybe someone like you?! I think what they’re doing with Melinda is great. I hope they do more stuff like that. Loved listening to you guys talk. Great vid as usual, Steve. Thanks, man! Edit: I’m so glad I grabbed the Dylan mono box when I did, especially if you’re saying it’s going for like $600 now. Mine was thankfully a 1/4 of that, but more than that, it’s just a fantastic box set. Thanks again. 🎶

I could only take 8 minutes of this. Yuck!

Love saludos 🫂

Thank you, great people for a great round table!
