Highlights From Swan Lake – Ernest Ansermet – Tchaikovsky

Highlights From Swan Lake – Ernest Ansermet – Tchaikovsky released by Deca and has now been reissued as an XRCD24 by Winston Ma. LIM, a division of FIM Music, uses only the best master tapes they can find and remaster them in the celebrated XRCD process, using the JVC replication plant in Japan.  The results are very good and very expensive, but unless you have a quality sound system you may not appreciate the improvements.

JVC’s XRCD24 technology is an extension of its XRCD and XRCD2 technology. It uses the same purist philosophy and the same signal chain, except that the K2 digital processor has been extended to 24 bits. As regular readers know, I have been very impressed with the sound of XRCD and XRCD2 discs. The XRCD24 process should be even better.
