Jethro Tull: Stand Up | Mark Werlin - April 25, 2023

Downunderman (and any other Jethro Tull fans), you need to hear the Steven Wilson remixes of This Was, Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, and Thick as a Brick in 24/96. The sonic ...

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!

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 ...

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. ...

Rachmaninov: 4 Piano Concertos, Paganini Rhapsody - Ashkenazy, Previn | DYB - Yesterday 02:53 pm

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

Bit of a sow's ear sonically although the album itself is quite nice. The Tull would go on to do better albums but the kitchen sink character of this one has its charms. Ian ...

Beethoven: Piano Concertos 1-5 - Ohlsson, Runnicles | Adrian Quanjer - May 18, 2023

Indeed, John, no Soundmirror. Original Recording Format: PCM 192 kHz. Hence half a star missing. As I suggested, this release is not meant to supersede your best choice.

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 ...
