...a dozen and given away all but one. All my listening was done in multichannel SACD, and my MC system is set up to, first, sound great in 2-channel; you may see my system linked.The earlier 2-channel versions are sonically the worst in that they sound very Left/Right with little or nothing in the middle of the orchestra. Even the 3-channel Saint-Seans Sym. 3 (recorded in one the the finest-sounding concert halls in the world, Boston Symphony Hall), is excessively 'mono-ized', in that I get no feeling that we're listening to an orchestra spread fully across the stage--it's violins on the far left, winds in the narrow middle, and brass and bass on the far-right. They're rather like the EMI recordings the Beatles and other rockers did in the '60s and later--left telefone booth and right telefone booth.
One 2-channel recording done by the masterful Kenneth Wilkinson in England, sounds EXCELLENT--Jasch Heifitz playing Max Bruch's VC1 and Scottish Fantasy...#82876-71622-2.
I have no trouble with any tape hiss, dropouts, etc. The condition of the master tapes and the quality of the remasterings are excellent--it's the original recordings I don't like the sound of.
