Last night thought I would listen to a cut or two from Alan Parson's Eye in the Sky. Yea right. So the whole CD sounded great! Then I played E.S. POSTHUITIUS , UNEARTHED. This CD is a kick. It features the Seattle Choral Co. with orchestra melded with electronica and a host of other unusual instruments. The DI's produced the nice tight deep bass line on this CD impressively. Even more awesome was how I was hearing a percussion/synthesized? instrument what would shoot 5 feet to the right of my right speaker. HUGE sound stage.
This morning returned to Haydn Trio Eisenstadt. They have an 8CD box set up Haydn's piano trios. May be the best box set I have ever bought. Great recording quality and performance. (buy it!) The DI's perfectly place the three instruments in space. The tonal quality is just superb! You really feel transported into the recording venue. The strings are rich, detailed, and I feel like their harmonics are all there in full measure. I've said before that it is such a pleasure to listen to the piano on the DI's. It just sounds so clear, full, detailed and dynamic. You just better experience the nuance of the musicians performance.
