It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Hi Chris, I came home

And listened to the Berglund, in the US edition which you posted. I'll retract the "c**p" designation, which is too strong, but I do think it is flawed engineering, with some harshness in the upper registers and some digital haze. It certainly isn't the worst recorded CD I have but it is below average.

I had purchased the CD to listen to "The Oceanides", one of the Finn's most magical works, and found the Berglund more and more grating on each listening. I then bought a beautiful Colin Davis version which I think is better from both the interpretational and sound perspectives.

It's possible the US and Japanese versions are at different levels of quality. And yes we have similar systems which should reveal the same weaknesses in a given recording. Anyway, be well.
