so why are the mfls vinyl/cd so good?!

[bringahorseinhere?]

I am a vinyl junkie, but still have no clue why these BB releases on or by mfls are so good....

can anyone explain why I need to spend so much on these Lps/Cd's..........

and really!!!    are they any different to what we already have?

is it worth the 2 or 300 bux to get something I already have 6 times over?

Cheers, RickB

It's MFSL (for Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab), not MFLS.

I recommend you read their entry at Wikipedia:

Now there's a perfect re-release label name for older-but-still-young and fresh music... the Don's going to TM it shortly.

MILF records proudly presents: the Brian Wilson Bedroom Tapes, on a 10 LP box set, in perfect analogue.

Compared to MILF, Bear Family sounds like old scratched 78s!!!

well if nobody else is going to answer the QUESTION.

mainly because they are Half-Speed Mastered and pressed on virgin vinyl and the QC is very rigid

But the standard MFSL lp quality is quite good - the UHQR pressings are another story, and a lot more $$$.

you will have to look up the terms I have to cut it short.

Essentially going from experience of their releases, I can only say this:

With regards to the Pet Sounds MoFi CD, even in the version I have 'acquired', it sounds even better than the ever great Mark Linnett stereo mix - the EQ on the track is absolutely perfect, allowing each little nuance to truly become audible even in ways the Pet Sounds Sessions box cannot achieve [the only other PS stereo mix I own]. Equally, this is the greatest version for the dynamic range too - here it is compared to the still very dynamic 2012 remaster from MiC, with both tracks amplified to peak at 0dB for easy comparison:



However, both these things are not factors you are going to notice without significant enough equipment [to an extent]. It doesn't have to be anything spectacular, but obviously the better your audio setup to more you will benefit from these releases.

With regards to Vinyl, I haven't heard any of The Beach Boys releases myself, but I do own the Weezer MoFi catalogue on vinyl, and all 5 of these releases sound incredible, though don't forget the original releases of these would have far more dynamic range compression on them that most Beach Boys releases.

And just what you would expect a MILF to demand.

I can't speak for the vinyl, but I've got the cd, which was a bit on the spendy side but worth every penny.  I've always found the other issues of stereo PS to be a bit bright on the high side and a little weak on the bass, for my tastes, but the MFSL gets the EQ just right.  Definitely my go-to for Pet Sounds!
