CD 22050
[Multichannel SACD]
Showcase 2005
• Showcase 2005 is a collection where we show some of the
latest Opus 3 music.
• Showcase 2005 is an excellent disc to demonstrate audio
equipment. It's a hybrid stereo/multichannel SACD.
• Showcase 2005 is educational, both from a musical and
from a technical perspective because when it comes to
serious and quality surround sound - nobody is sitting in the
middle of the band!
• Since Opus 3 launched their first Testrecord in 1979, the
Opus 3 Test CD/Samplers have become an audio institution!
• As technology advances and improves so will the Opus 3 Showcase to include and illustrate new and stimulating possibilities made available on SACDs and pure DSD.
• In what we believe is a very harmonic and enjoyable mix, we give you a selection from our latest albums of music ranging from Blues, (sometimes with spices of Rock!), Jazz, World Music and Classical.
• In common with our previous Test CD's/Showcase albums, we include in-depth liner notes and comments on all of the tracks..........but with a significant difference.
• Most of the tracks on this album were recorded and mixed not only in stereo, but also in real surround and we therefore give precisely detailed information relating to this, i.e; whether in a Blues or Jazz Club, Church or Concert Hall etc.
• Well recorded surround sound has really advanced the Hi Fi experience towards its ultimate goal which is to create the feeling of being there live with the musicians. Though we would stress that you are not 'playing in the band'..........you are, instead, in a much better listening position...............in the front row!
• It might be interesting to note that SACD now celebrates it's fifth anniversary!
