Aucoin: Orphic Moments - Rose | David Stanbury - May 27, 2023

This album has 2 discs of music. Oddly, the first disc is a SACD while the second disc is a conventional CD!

Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 - Noseda | Adrian Quanjer - May 28, 2023

Das war einmahl… Just for once, so it seems. What a pity! Despite the adamant encouragement from old hands like John, NSO has apparently decided to move from physical Hi-Res ...

Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon | John Bacon-Shone - May 10, 2023

I am not aware of any legitimate DVD-A version. This is a (very nice) repackaging of the previous SACD, which sounds very nice.

Les Espaces Électroacoustiques III | Amfortas - May 23, 2023

Jethro Tull: Stand Up | Downunderman - April 24, 2023

DOS: In Sight | Rafael Méndez - April 12, 2023

It is an extraordinary sounding album (in fact one of my favorite demo albums). The bass sound is absolutely natural, the atmosphere intimate, and Bianchini's voice wonderful. ...

Williams: Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind - Gerhardt | Gurkensalat - May 16, 2023

This has nothing to do with my setup. MC recordings with ambience only in the rear do just that. While this recording has clearly discreet instrument placing in the surround ...
