Chris A Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 This one was apparently used as a primary "audiophile test disc" at RMAF a couple of years ago. After unmastering this disc really comes alive. You'll like the selections, too: You can find it at: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000E64YT Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 One of my favourites, some classics getting a funky big band swing treatment along with some good originals. Very good sound quality is a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason str Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Always enjoyed around the holidays, record is kind of worn so the C/D gets more use these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 This one just came in, as it was released in October. It's knocking my socks off (Multichannel Hybrid SACD). I've never heard anything like this before. The noise floor must be -60 dB or even lower, and the clarity of the performance hall (in Japan... The Bach Collegium Japan) is unsurpassed by any other recording that I own. The voices are superb, and the compositions are in arrangements that I've not heard before. "Wow." Very highly recommended. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GVXBDWB/ Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Another new holiday season multichannel SACD that showed up yesterday. I'm thinking that I need to concentrate on multichannel discs from now on, since this disc may have the most convincing depth and width of soundstage that I've heard thus far. It's simply outstanding. Chandos CHSA 5096: Wow... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 I'm again listening to the SACD disc (5.0 channel), above. Wow! Something changed this year--flat phase loudspeakers. If you happen to be through the area, PM to set up a listen. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YK Thom Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Wow, it's been a year already. We are now getting ready for the season. We have to order most of our supplies from the south, doing some decorating tomorrow and will throw on my second favourite ( by a whisker) album.

Mighty Favog Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Two favorites. For the longest time it was George Winston. Disovered him on a lark, really. We were going through vinyl albums at the store and decided we liked the album cover. So, home it came having never heard of him before 1983. On the anniversary edition there is a sing entitled "Christmas Song" that brings back sweet memories of a 9-week old kitten I rescued from the streets of a low income area of Cincinnati. By the time he was a few months old, early in the morning while I was still in bed, he would climb the bed covers up onto the top to come see me, panting from his climb. Then lay across my neck to keep warm and sleep with me. Sadly, he passed away in my arms 8-years later of kidney failure. His ashes are still with me. I have all six Winter Solstice albums from Windham Hill Records. Each year I eagerly went to my nearest Borders store to snach the next issue. Number IV just stood out the best when I played the first track. The rest of it didn't dissapoint. 41cDlRi75zL._SX300_QL70_FMwebp_.jpg.webp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
