Yes - almost every recording will yield some new detail or interesting balance. I was also trying to suggest this in my initial response to this thread. The point where I draw the line however is where the new, interesting details are "uncovered" by dweebs in the control room moving volume controls for the zillions of spot microphones, thereby disrupting the holistic image the orchestra. If that's the way I hear get to hear new details, I don't want it. I know other listeners here don't feel as strongly about this as I (and others, such as Timbo) do.

I would agree with you on this point as well. I don't think that's usually what's going on, but of course there will likely be exceptions.

If there's one recording where you can hear some awful multiple-microphoning, with forests of spot microphones all over kingdom come, it's the Salonen/LAPO DG album, which includes the Rite of Spring (also Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin and Moussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain). I still have the SACD though, since the sound (e.g., the floor-shaking entrance of the organ in the Miraculous Mandarin) is fun - in a kind of horrific way! ;-)
