New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Re: You may have put your finger on it re Pentatone sound.

Actually the Philips Dvorak you refer to was recorded by the same people who record the PentaTone DSD recordings ....and with the same Polyhymnia equipment. Read on the last page (before the inside rear cover):

"Recording, mastering and editing facilities by Polyhymnia International BV on behalf of Emil Berliner Studios."

The recording engineer in this instance was Roger de Schot whom you may notice is the same engineer that did the Strauss Waltzes with Kreizburg and the Vienna Symphony for PentaTone.

PentaTone RQR recordings depend on the quality of the original Philips Tapes and on the quality of their preservation.

The new DSD recordings have all (so far) been done by Polyhymnia International. The best Philips SACDs were also done by Polyhymnia! Its a shame Universal employed Emil Berliner for their subsequent recordings because they are all drastically inferior to any of Polyhymnia's products.
