I'm a bit uncertain about buying this — not cheap — set, but I have to admit that I'm quite curious. The most interesting work for me in this set is most likely Bruckner's ...
Exton offers a small selection of his catalogue in a sort of prime series, which is labeled as OVXL instead of the standard OVCL series. OVXL titles are 'direct cut' versions. ...
It's an extraordinary performance, but I'm not sure it's worth that price! eOnkyo used to have it as DSF downloads. It's a terrible shame they shut down. Qobuz acquired them, ...
This is one of Nina's best albums and one that is well worthy of this fabulous Analogue Production's DSD mastering for SACD.
The album and reproduction is superb and if one ...

This one, a limited edition of 3,000 and mastered by Shawn R. Britton.
Previously released as a multi-channel SACD way back in 1999 Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison and there seems to have been varied opinions as to the sonic merits of this version. It also had bonus tracks added and is uncensored.
We now have the album as originally released - No bonus tracks and the sweary bit bleeped. I'm very happy that they have stayed true to the original release here.
The mastering sounds very good, especially considering the recording equipment they had and the difficult environment. It is very alive and immediate with the performance/recording warts adding to the energy and realness of it all.
And of course, the defining humanity of the album shines through better than ever.
It is unlikely that there will be a better version so get it while you can.
