It is hard to remember a more virulent put-down of audio quality. Mandryka, please tell us your audio system components.

Rather like MDG sound. The violin is too close, but maybe that's realistic.

So, I suspect that Celeste didn't enjoy listening to that CD?  :-\

The reviewer seems to be referring to this recording, not an MDG:


I agree with "Celeste" that his tone is a bit scratchy, but it's definitely not a dry recording. For the record, this is my stereo system:

B&W 803D3 speakers
McIntosh MA9000 integrated amp
Esoteric K-03 SACD player
VPI Prime Signature turntable/Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cartridge
Sennheiser HD800s, Audeze LCD-X headphones

Mandryka

I have to say, I think Uchida's Diabelli Variations should get a mention in this thread - it is realistic, and you're centre front row. It is in every way an impressive release.
