I have the Mercury 2004 SACD. Does anyone know if the Mofi release is any better?

yep but not that one

Do you find them to be of superior quality and worth the extra expense?

Of those I have yes but then again it is all in the master. As they say you can polish a terd but.....

Try picking it up from the clean end?

The Steve Hoffman forum is a better place to find information about one release vs another than here. Not that people here haven't done comparisons, there are more people over there and that forum is more music oriented than hardware oriented.

Just realized the link above is about redbook and not SACD. I'm sure there is discussion of the SACD's in there though, if not search that forum you'll find what you're looking for.

I have the same SACD from 2004 (mercury) and should you upgrade it? I'd say no this one seems pretty good to me. I do have several others from MoFi and and I am happy with them.

I have the 2004 and the SHM-SACD. The SHM-SACD is better, but just. I can't see the MoFi being better than the SHM-SACD as both are from the master.

Thanks for all of the input. I think I am going to get one of these
