While I do not think I agree with this point of view, I must admit that as I am writing this while listening to the new one point stereo, one microphone recording of Carmen Gomes, there is something to be said in favor of Steve Guttenbergs opinion.
Of all my recordings this is the one that truly places the musicians between my speakers. If I hadn't known better I'd believe Carmen Gomes and her band had secretly sneaked in to my house with their instruments. It is a stunning recording, very very special.

I have few of the Chesky binaural+ recordings, nice realistic but in terms of sound stage and sq the Carmen Gomes recording is way better.
Please comment or recommend audiophile recordings, preferably one point stereo, or multi microphone recordings that proves Steve Guttenberg wrong

Quality of Recordings are all over the ‘Map’. Above and beyond Microphone placement, number of microphones quality of Recording equipment, medium used, the mastering and editing and production are also in question.
Bottom line you can have Red book recordings at 16bit 44.1 be garbage, but also other 16bit 44.1 be spectacular. Additionally, there are 24bit 96 that are also less than desirable, but also incredible. This phenomenon is all the way up to 32bit 192, 32bit 384 and on and on.
The underlying factors are the skill sets of the folks along the entire line of creating processing great musical reproductions and above all Time to render the best music.
