Default These albums are mixed on Tad speakers!
I did not know that there was a label actually using TADs as reference when mixing and mastering but it seems that this label does.
These albums were mixed on TAD CE 1.

Actually they are mixed with the Evolution One. See picture and the site:

They made extraordinary good pure analog recordings. Very interesting!

Maybe that’s why their stuff sounds so fantastic on my TADs.

They are well “recoded” albums, mixing on TAD doesn’t make them any better. It’s still up to the engineer’s taste no matter what speakers. Squeezing a lemon with a diamond encrusted lemon juicer does not make the lemonade any better.

Does help them sounding good on a pair of Tad's though...

Seems to me that all the DXD albums are mixed on the TAD's.

I agree with PHC1 that it doesn’t make them sound any better on TADs, but it sure does make them fun to listen to on TADs.

Irrespective of one’s brand of speakers, you owe it to yourself to listen to these recordings. Just stunning, stunning stuff. Every time I go to Europe (which used to be about three times a year, at least), I contact this label to see if I can be at a live recording of one of these albums. No luck thus far.

If anyone here prefers old fashioned Compact Disc's then Carmen Gomes is selling CD versions of her Sound Liaison albums on her BandCamp site; https://carmengomes.bandcamp.com/
