This is the second month where we can share what I listen to. This part is about imaging. When we talk about imaging we want to have a clear delineation of the location of the instruments. Some recordings do a marvelous job of this and can be used as test tracks when auditioning new equipment or making other changes in the room and system.
1. Sara K., Water Falls on the Stockfish label. Really fabulous the whole recording and the imaging of her voice and the guitar are terrific.
2. Eduardo Eguez, the Lute Music of Johann Sebastian Bach volume II on M*A recordings. Single instrument, but an incredible sense of space around it.
3. Three Blind Mice, the Famous Sound of the Three Blind Mice on XRCD. Terrific jazz and great spatial imaging.
Note: Some people wonder why no classical is listed in this section. I find classical is not good for imaging, but rather soundstage, expanse and dynamics from micro to macro. Perhaps we'll discuss this next month.
