Chesky Records Presents The Ultimate Demonstration Disc, Volume 2 on SACD! The Ultimate Demo Disc, Volume Two is an aural dictionary that cues the listener to specific sonic qualities for each selection. By consistently using the Disc, hearing & understanding these terms will become so much easier. The Disc can be used to evaluate speakers, receivers, preamps, power amps, CD players, digital to analog convertors, even cables. Demo's include: Holographic Imaging, Presence, Depth, Deep Bass, High Resolution & many more!
"Audiophile reviewers use words like 'transparent' and 'soundstage depth' all the time, but rarely describe exactly what the words mean. With the original (Chesky CD: UD95) and now this new UDD (Ultimate Demonstration Disc) I spell out what to listen for on each tune. And since Chesky recordings are made by and for audiophiles the entire recording chain – the microphones, mic preamps, mixer, and analog-to-digital converter – is custom built to high-end standards…Chesky Records has learned a lot over the past thirteen years so it's no surprise the Ultimate Demonstration Disc, Volume 2 sounds even better than Volume 1. Enjoy!" – Steven Guttenberg
