Various Artists - Thorens New Reference Collection - 45rpm LP

Cut at 45 RPM with Direct Metal Mastering: The Companion Compilation to Thorens' Statement Flagship, Pressed for Maximum Resolution

Assembled as the musical companion to Thorens' New Reference turntable, this 2LP set from in-akustik is cut at 45 RPM using Direct Metal Mastering for the lowest noise floor and highest resolution vinyl can deliver. The program is a who's-who of audiophile favorites — Eva Cassidy's "Autumn Leaves," Shelby Lynne's "Just A Little Lovin'," Elvis Presley's "Fever," Youn Sun Nah, Bettye LaVette, and more — every track chosen for recording quality first and sequenced to show off dynamics, texture, and soundstage.

You don't need a New Reference to enjoy it: on any good turntable, this is simply one of the best-sounding demonstration records in print.
