I have a few and they do vary greatly in quality, the ones I have are mostly remasters from old recordings, thus the recording itself was not made by Pentatone. The last set I received are the Beethoven string quartet by the Quartetto Italiano and although the music is sublime
and the remasterind did improve on the originals it is obviously not in the same league as some of the chamber music released by Praga.
As far as Telarc, I never heard a recording that I would give a full 5 as to me they always lack a certain ambience (air)compared to some recording of the late 50's and 60's the Paul Parray's and the Detroit symphony orchestra do come to my mind, especially the Bizet "La Patrie" which is my ultimate demo disc, those are just spectacular and would merit a full 5 for realism and sound quality, a few been isuued on SACD's. The last 2 Linn purchases I made are also pretty good, but we are human and we always compare to the best we have and for me it is difficul to give a full 5 as I can always find something that could be improved on.
