Hang on...

let's reserve the typical AJ flavored response until he has the chance to answer. I'm darn curious. Since cabling, quality of amplification and quality of source players play no part beyond a certain base level in the quality of the audio reproduction chain, that only leaves two three components: the recording, the speaker, and the room. I'd like to know what that speaker is. Perhaps it's one of his own - that's cool.

Since he never responded to an earlier post, I really don't know if he has ever heard any of the exception minimally miked kind of recordings that Stan mentioned in his article. Hearing most any Telarc would be a good place to start. I had the good fortune of participating (free labor only) with their production of ASO's Firebird . I can also suggest some early Windham Hill recordings of piano or guitar for a different musical genre. (Boring part) Liz Story's Solid Colors is special to me for many reasons. Here's an attractive, Juilliard trained pianist playing her own compositions on a Steinway. This 1982 recording was made direct to two track with a Studer half inch recorder at 30 ips. No noise reduction, limiting, or compression was used. Simply beautiful music presented in an unabashedly natural way. My wife and I used this in our wedding back in '86.
