I'll second the recommendation of Ziroq on Silverline and add Pentangle's Basket of Light.

Also the Vanguard Classics/Silverline series is very good and all the titles are 24/96 in both surround and stereo, oddly the original analog tapes were mastered to 24/192 and downsampled to 24/96. I never really understood why? But the sound quality is mostly excellent.

Most Silverlines I found to be very bad, especially ones from Sanctuary stereo and mono masters that were artificially made into Surround sound, even worse yet the stereo programs (when they were included) were not from the masters but downmixed from the Surround sound mix.

Just everything that one can do wrong in remastering Silverline has done. The worst sounding Silverline DVD-Audio I've heard is Gary Moore's Back to the Blues.

Give me high resolution or remain silent,
Teresa
