DG Orchestral sucks, Archiv OK?

Some of the Archiv records are OK. For many years I black-listed DG LPs and CDs for having horrible sound quality as the result of the use of multiple microphones and multiple channel recordings with post-production mixdown covering for incompetence in correct microphone placement. The recordings were suitable for mid-fi systems only and their faults were readily apparent on any high end system. No doubt there were a few exceptions, but I passed them by because I had already rejected the record label as failing to meet my sonic standards.

(Comments apply to orchestral recordings, solo and chamber recordings on this label are OK.)
