Background -
Everything is like NEW...in fact, all the SACDs sets are still FACTORY SEALED, except for one, Das Rheingold (which is stone cold mint). This super rare Esoteric SACD box set was limited to 1,000 units for world wide sales. This title was issued in 2009 and is LONG OUT OF PRINT. Virtually went out of print the day it was issued - this is our last and ONLY copy!!
Esoteric Masterpiece Collection
The reissue of historical music masterpieces by ESOTERIC has attracted a lot of attention, both for its uncompromising commitment to recreating the original master sound, and for using hybrid Super Audio CD (SACD) technology to improve sound quality.
These new audio versions feature ESOTERIC’s proprietary re-mastering process to achieve the highest level of sound quality.
Experience it for yourself…
Experience the legendary performance in this new Super Audio CD/CD format. Not only for new collectors/followers, but also for well experienced collector/followers of these recorded materials. All will be equally impressed by the “soul” hidden within the notes, but never before found in previously released recordings, in any format.
ESOTERIC equipment used for re-mastering
The criterion of re-mastering is to faithfully capture the quality of the original master. ESOTERIC’s flag ship D/A converters, Rubidium master clock generator model Grandioso G1 and ESOTERIC MEXCEL interconnect cables and power cords, were all used for this re-mastering session. This combination of highly advanced technology greatly contributed to capturing the high quality sound of the original master.
This is an out-of-print Esoteric hybrid SACD box set with 14 SACD discs, plus a DVD of the BBC documentary, "The Golden Ring”.
The box, books, and all inserts are all factory sealed in their original shipping container - all SACD discs are FACTORY SEALED, except for “Das Rheingold" which is MINT.
