For the record, I a/b my Mosaic against the Japanese mastering of "Blue Trombone" along with the Columbia remastering of "JJ Inc," and I felt the Japanese mastering was superior to my ears to the Mosaic. The "JJ inc." was similar to the Mosaic.
DAMN! And to think that almost 5,000 people have wasted their money on this set!
(By the way, was that a/b done before or after you'd had 6 light beers? )
Settle down, Ron!
I like to point this stuff out for those unquestioned and wholly-devoted slaves to all things Mosaic!
The set is worth having, for sure, but it ain't perfect. Mosaic is a good outfit, but--damn!--nothing critical can ever be said about Mosaics on this board! -_-
