BEETHOVEN OVERTURES CONDUCTED BY COLIN DAVIS (LIMITED EDITION)

Limited Edition SACD From Esoteric

Digitally recorded at Herculessaal Munich, Germany (Oct 29-31, 1985). Produced by David Mottley and Wolfram Graul. First release: 1986. [Re-mastering]. The production of this ultimate SACD/CD hybrid disc is directed by Japanese popular Hi-fi reviewer / recording engineer, Mr. Sugano, and re-mastered at SONY Music Nogizaka studio. The production was done without compromise throughout the whole re-mastering process. The best quality master tape was chosen, and the best equipment was used for the DSD mastering process: the ESOTERIC D-01 D/A converter, the ESOTERIC G-0Rb master clock generator, and ESOTERIC “Mexcel” interconnect cables. With this uncompromising production process, one of the best recording sources is now made to a SACD/CD Hybrid disc with true “master tape” audio

Complete impulse buy. Meh, why the hell not.

I tried it out today at home, vs. the phono preamp built into my Denon receiver.... WOW!!

The slightly muffled and veiled sound and smaller soundstage that was kinda bothering me disappeared. I thought it might be the turntable or cartridge... not!

there are some really nice recordings, in there. some of them, especially the Fritz Reiner recordings, are going to sound "old," just a warning.

I'm not too worried. I sampled some on Rhapsody and liked what I heard. Plus I've been most pleased with sets 1 & 2, and a bunch of that is Fritz stuff too. I like these box sets, as they seem like a great place to "start" with classical. :)

Not quite a purchase, but I paid the fee for too much weight to bring my APL Phillips (formerly Todd's) home from DC in Dan's Pelican case. I'm really happy with how it sounded with the BHSE.
