Here's a YouTube video that Acoustic Sounds made of the production chain for their Cat Stevens release.
Decent sound for a change!

Actually the lathe is set up in Pacifica, about 15 miles south. Right across the parking lot from RR World Headquarters.

Just did some listening to the Mobile Fidelity pressing of Alison Krauss and Union Station "So Long So Wrong".
I believe that Paul used the same lathe to do the half speed mastering of this 2 record set.
I can't imagine that vinyl could ever be any more resolving . There aren't the mad dynamics that are needed on a symphonic release but all the nuances  that helps me get lost in this recording are there.
Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a performance which is as finely crafted as the songs on "So Long,.." That's one of the things I love about their records. Just zero rough edges from beginning to end.

 And I do a little for MoFi too: Dead Can Dance, Stevie Wonder, B-52's, John Lennon, even KC and the Sunshine Band.

How do MoFi LPs compare to the MoFis from 80's?    I have collected quite a bit of selection of MoFi's, especially "Let's Dance" by David Bowie.

Btw. Is the 'Demo' version of MoFi better than regular MoFis?

Btw.  How do you know it's my real name?  Just because I say so?

This is probably opening a can of worms you don't want to open and I understand if you don't want to answer this directly, but I will ask anyway.
Now that you have mastered some of Keith's tapes to both the TP format and to vinyl, I am curious as to how you would compare the strengths and weaknesses of each format.  Also, what about the intermediate phase like the running master dupe for the tape vs. a fresh cut lacquer from his master (as opposed to a vinyl pressing). Is his master tape from his analog machine patched into the lathe or is there another intermediate step in that process?
Reason I ask is that I have had a friend with an excellent lathe cut something right off of a safety copy of a tape (15 ips/ 2track) without alteration (real time @45), and that lacquer blows away most pressings I have heard. It pretty much sounds like the tape.
(BTW, I think Doc heard a 16/44.1 CD reduction of one cut from that lacquer that I brought to the show in the bay area recently in the room where he was playing TP tapes with Luke Manley's amps.)

Sorry for the late reply, but I forgot where I had saved information, but while doing the 'house cleaning' today, I found the info.
