I’d like to partially withdraw a statement I made about current Reference Recordings CDs. The very latest ones with the Pittsburgh Symphony don’t suffer from a lack of detail. But orchestral recordings prior to the latest ones have had that balcony perspective.
The very best sound: Direct to Disc
Since I got a new cartridge (Clear Audio Virtuoso) i’ve rediscovered the Sheffield and RR Direct Disc albums in my collection.
Wow! they put everything else to shame. I picked up about twenty Sheffield D2D’s when Tower Records went out of business for a song (no pun intended.) I’m just now listening to them and find there’s nothing that sonically compares. They’re just more real sounding than anything else. Not spectacular but realistic.
