Schumann: Symphonies 1-4 Klemperer | Longjohns and Wifebeaters - December 8, 2025

How right you were, Breydon Music. It’s not a minor difference. Everything is now (in the Tower remaster) so much more open, transparent, delicate, and defined, and the ...

Stan Getz: Sweet Rain | Downunderman - November 5, 2025

One of the later releases in the Japan released Acoustic Sounds SACD series. This one released August 2025. Notable for being one of the few in this series that has not been ...

The Berliner Philharmoniker and Herbert von Karajan: Live in Berlin 1970–1979 | hiredfox - December 1, 2025

Shostakovich: Symphonies 1-15 - Noseda | AOS - December 9, 2025

Joni Mitchell: Hejira | Downunderman - October 3, 2025

Mastered by Rob LoVerde. And a very nice job he has done too. When you are very familiar with the previous CD versions of an album there is an interesting paradox that ...

Heart: Dreamboat Annie | analogue - December 1, 2025

This new Mofi sacd was a complete surprise to me. A fabulous transfer and listen. Mofi either has original master recording or mobile fidelity sound lab as info for the tape ...
