Audiophile Vol. 2

Audiophile Vol. 2 — compiled by Audiomatic is a powerful progressive trance and electronic audiophile compilation released by Spin Twist Records. Compiled by Audiomatic, this album is highly recommended for listeners who enjoy deep electronic bass, clean digital production, psychedelic trance energy, progressive grooves, stereo effects and high-impact sound design.

This is not an acoustic vocal audiophile album. It is a modern electronic hi-fi test album for checking how your system handles fast bass lines, kick-drum punch, transient speed, stereo width, electronic detail and dynamic drive. On a good setup, the sound should be tight, clean and energetic, with strong bass control, sharp rhythmic timing and a wide electronic soundstage.

The album features tracks by Vaishiyas & Audiomatic, Day Din, Audiomatic, Ritmo, Sinister Silence, Adda, Synthax & Moontales, Neelix, Normalize and Vaishiyas. The Qobuz listing shows 10 tracks with a total length of about 1 hour 10 minutes.

What you must hear

What to listen for Why it matters
Bass-driver speed The kick and bass should be fast, tight and controlled
Deep electronic bass Low frequencies should go deep without becoming muddy
Transient precision Synth hits and percussion should start and stop cleanly
Stereo width Effects should move clearly across the soundstage
Layer separation Bass, kick, synths and effects should remain clear
Rhythmic timing The groove should feel locked-in and energetic
Clean high frequencies Electronic details should sparkle without harshness
