Oops! At 01:29, I got a bit too caught up in the excitement and called Dire Straits' "Making Movies" as "Making Moves." That's what I get for being on a roll! 😄 Just setting the record straight-thanks for tuning in and rocking out with me! 🎸🎬
Like you, I have a number of MoFi pressings that did not meet my high expectaions. They were certainly pressed well and dead quiet, but they were missing that extra level of mastering that resulted in the soundstage and air that one would expect for the price tag. I love Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits. My OG pressings sound very good, but you have stirred my curiousity...and my pocketbook. Lover Over Gold is my favorite, so I just ordered a MoFi copy. If it is as stellar as you presented, I will complete the collection
The best version isn't necessarily the one someone is familiar with. I have a first pressing that seems to be a Robert Ludwig and sounds excellent. Same with Gaucho from Steeley Dan. I thing some of these are just money grabs. How many versions of Miles Davis do you need? Aja as well. Colored vinyl, same thing. That being said, it isnt my place to tell people what to buy. Too much great music out there to quibble about the best version of XXXX, by YYYY of the 38 copies we have. 😊😊
Definitely too much music to quibble on which pressing is the best. If you watch enough of my videos, I’ll often say that a certain pressing sounds great to me with no desire to seek out a better version. I do believe that MOFI did an excellent job on the Dire Straits series, and if you’re a fan, they are worth picking up before they are out of print. 👍😉
I realized I misspoke in the title and added an editor's note in the description for clarification. Perhaps it would also be helpful to add a pinned comment. 👍

Still there's nothing that comes close to the brothers in arms limited edition SACD.. It's clarity of the sound is far beyond anything i ever heard.
Thanks for sharing and stopping by!

To get a great sound you must have a good hi fi and that cost lots of money, cheap hi fi is bad sound no matter what.🤫🤫😏
