California Audio Show 2012

California Audio Show 2012 by Blue Coast Records is a beautiful audiophile DSD sampler made for listeners who appreciate natural sound, acoustic realism and high-resolution recording quality. This album is especially interesting for testing vocal clarity, stereo imaging, acoustic detail, room ambience and the emotional presence of live studio performances.

Blue Coast Records is known for acoustic recordings and for music performed live in the studio, often with a very natural and intimate sound. Their catalogue focuses on acoustic music and performance realism, which makes this sampler a strong choice for hi-fi testing and serious listening.

On a good audio system, California Audio Show 2012 should give a spacious, open and organic presentation. It is not a loud “show-off” test disc, but more of a refined reference recording for hearing micro-detail, natural voices, instrument placement, dynamic nuance and the smooth character of DSD audio.
