This is already my third TELARC 20bit CD. The characteristics of the sound is all three the same. It sounds like the sound of dwarves who want to sample times the big screen. No stage, no sound volume but otherwise everything was great. The main thing a few good slogans and make it appear an audiophile product to have produced. Newcomers and people with mediocre facilities may be indeed be influenced by the promotional activities. The fact is that it is sound below average. And that does not even related to SACDs, but to reasonable-sounding CDs. Of the 3 previously acquired 20bit versions I like this even with the best because here nearly as something like a bass can be heard. The sound is still pretty pathetic. Have reingetan thereafter the next new acquisition. McKennitt with her "Book of Secrets". I really startled, as the incredible soundstage has opened. And that's only a well-received CD, not even audiophile within the meaning of 24bit or even SACD. Have not even read this sound debacle foobar pleasure. The others were dynamically partially extremely weak throughout but overridden in the Peaks. Up to 0 dB, the tips were regularly drawn here. This guarantees clipping, distortion and all sorts of sonic shortcomings. Bin with absolutely sure that it looks exactly the same here. Will occupy myself with disem lack product also nich longer time.
And then there is a clear reference to the Telarc-junk. The note goes along the lines "You get what you pay for." To those who think themselves graucht for 1 audiophile CDs procure who has been mistaken. So even for used audiophile CDs for example. Of Stockfish is still paying nearly 20 Regardless of the over beating customer reviews there just yet connoisseurs who know how to distinguish the wheat from the chaff.
Conclusion: Do not get caught by the advertising slogans or of the other reviewers who seem to already fell for it. The facts and the sound speak for themselves: a well below average production. Stay away from the TELARC 20bit soundtrack for the Augsburg Puppet Theatre.
