RE: BIS SACD

"Minimal compression is beneficial for home playback systems, most, and that includes some of the better high end systems that I am familiar with, simply can not cope with the dynamics of a symphony orchestra.

If this is the case then the system is inadequate for the music being played. A system should reproduce music undistorted at live concert levels, e.g. row 20 in an orchestral hall. If it can't, then complain about the system, not the recordings. With uncompressed acoustic recordings, there is another issue that must be addressed, and that is room noise. Room noise needs to be low enough that it doesn't interfere with listening to quiet passages.

Most of the BIS recordings are good, some very good. They are not often excellent, i.e. audiophile grade, but then most audiophile recordings are made with second rate music and/or musicians and so are useful only for system calibration purposes.
