The Demonstration Disc for Which You’ve Been Waiting: Volume Includes Nine Staple Tracks in Brilliant High-Fidelity Sound
 
Here’s the demonstration disc for which you’ve been waiting.
The successor to the imprint’s first collection ever made available for purchase by the public, Mobile Fidelity Collection Volume 2 showcases nine sterling tracks stemming from iconic classic rock, soul, new wave, and country-folk artists. Ideal for audiophiles as well as newcomers curious about Mobile Fidelity’s history, the compendium also functions as a diverse sampler and system test disc. Like all Mobile Fidelity releases, it is an extremely collectable, numbered and limited-edition title.
 
Famous for realistic, balanced, and breath-of-life sonics, Mobile Fidelity has for more than three decades established the benchmarks for audiophile-grade sound quality—and continues to do so with definitive editions of the best records from history’s most legendary artists. Exhibiting the label’s award-winning organic presentation, the anthology picks off where the vocally focused first volume left off and throws a spotlight on tracks selected for their instrumental prowess.
 
You may have heard Foghat’s signature “Slow Ride” hundreds of times, but you’ve not truly experienced it until you hear the radio staple on this hybrid SACD. The same can be said for the Pretenders’ catchy “Back on the Chain Gang,” Foreigner’s arena favorite “Feels Like the First Time,” and the Doobie Brothers’ irrepressible “China Grove,” which here takes on unstoppable momentum thanks to an unlimited ceiling and bottom that allow every frequency to reach full potential. 
 
A mix of other familiar, highly respectable material rounds out this powerful jukebox. Ray Charles’ penetrating “Come Rain Or Come Shine” plays on the same level as Gram Parsons’ bittersweet “We’ll Sweep the Ashes Out in the Morning” duet with Emmylou Harris. Similarly, Rickie Lee Jones’ evocative “Pirates (So Long Lonely Avenue)” operates on a related emotional scale with Marshall Crenshaw’s hopeful “Someday, Someway,” the singer’s 1982 Top 40 breakthrough. 
 
Looking to reveal your system’s greatest strengths? Bursting with music that will help your stereo come alive with three-dimensional images, appear with huge soundstages, and revel in delicate textures, Mobile Fidelity Collection Volume 2 epitomizes what high-end audio is all about: Engaging, masterful performances rendered in exalted sound that brings you to the event and closer to your favorite artists.

Mobile Fidelity believes that mastering systems should be neutral and transparent. The essential idea is to unveil all the detailed musical information on the original master recording without adding deterioration, coloration or other sonic artifacts. 

It is worth noting that Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab stands out as one of few record labels that independently invests in research and development of audio technology. With proprietary innovations such as GAIN 2™, general music enthusiasts and audiophiles alike have reaped the benefit of a higher consumer audio standard without investing in costly new hardware. Mobile Fidelity is pleased to work with a variety of engineering legends and companies including Tim de Paravicini, Ed Meitner, Pass Labs, Theta Digital and Sony Electronics. 

Our joint efforts to seek out the ultimate audio experience, has resulted in significant advances for the technology of music reproduction. 

GAIN 2™ Mastering Technology for Ultradisc UHR™ Hybrid SACD and Ultradisc II™ 24kt Gold CDs 

For over twenty years, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab has continually searched for the ultimate audio experience. During this search MFSL engineers and associates created The GAIN™ System, a proprietary mastering technology which brought warmth and ambience to the compact disc format. A few years ago - with higher resolution formats on the horizon - the vision of GAIN 2™ began. As it stands today, GAIN 2™ is one of the greatest technical advancements in analogue and digital technology in the last ten years. It consists of a series of critical modifications and new components to Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering chain. 

We feel that GAIN 2™ has come extremely close to meeting this goal. The key accomplishments of GAIN 2™ System are 1) the ability to extract all the musical information as possible through the Ultra High bandwidth analogue tape playback system with proprietary custom tape playback heads, reproducer electronics and 2) transparently capturing and storing that information with the Direct Stream Digital recording system.
