Not sure which RCA's you are referring to, but the K.E. Wilkinson recordings are IMHO some of the VERY best recordings in the whole catalog. IF your'e talking of the UK pressings, then some (not all) are inferior.

I actually like Diana Krall.
I will throw in anything from Chesky. Pure drivel IMO.
Here is a funny Krall story. The guys at Stereo Design here in San Diego told me about a customer who owns Wilson Maxx3 and listens to the same 5 "well recorded" CDs including Krall. His kids finally told him if he puts on those CDs again they were personally going to go into the listening room and smash his system to absolute ******* pieces. LOL.
whart, most of the Soria series actually had the plain red label and not the famous shaded dog label. I posted on the 'shaded dog' forum (http://www.shadeddog.com) about my experience with the Milhaud LP and its plain red label.
As to the DW Lp's. I like mine a lot. But then, I also very much like the RR Arnold LP for the music as well as the sound!![]()
I think i was pretty careful with that one, and Dafos, when i used to run Quads.
You guys are lucky you don't have to be the ones doing the shows. I try to find music that's not been demo'ed to death, that sound great, and that I like. Unfortunately, by the end of the first day, I'm already sick of it. I sometimes end up demo'ing music that I don't particularly like so that I don't end a show hating the music I love.
Count me in with the unlucky since I do at least one show annually!
Oooo. Here's another on my list. Telarc's Round Up. I like my Westerns with visuals. LOL.

Gary, How often do your guests bring in their own music to listen to? You must hear something your not familiar with that you like every once in a while.![]()
You don't find the RR amorphous, homogenized and gray? There's also something really weird going on in the upper octaves too. Too much wowee zowee and not enough stubstance. You should really find someone with the TTP release and hear the recording as it was intended!

Gary makes an interesting point. The show exhibitor or dealer has a very small window to make a positive impression on a potential customer. Do you go with great music/lousy recording or a great recording/so-so music?
exactly. theres more treasure than drek in chesky's catalog. i just got the jimmy cobb quartet jazz in the key of blue and xiomara laugart " Lo Voz' (hot afro-cubian beats) both 192/24 master wav discs and they're superb on all levels.
