RE: I think the only characteristic you could link...

I don't think there is a 'rumor' about the EQ on the early MFSL product. Can't find the link but as I recall Stan Ricker himself stated he used the EQ because that is what they wanted. And my ears tell me many of titles had a fair amount of boost at the extreme. Some with like this others will not.

Some of the early MFSL records are fantastic. Some of them are turds. Like anything else. Listen to Steely Dan 'Aja' and tell me they did not use a huge amount of EQ boosting the frequency extremes. The thing is unlistenable. The standard ABC pressing simply smokes the MFSL version.

There are others.

When MFSL got it right they were a revelation like the bulk of the Beatles catalogue. When they got it wrong they were barking dogs. Every title must be evaluated on their own merit.

I actually find the second generation MFSL, once the original company got back into vinyl, to be far more consistent title-to-title than the original catalogue.

Hard to make a generalization about any labels product.
