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

I was maybe a bit too fast with putting down Chesky. This sounds quite good: especially on headphones;

I can't imagine anything sound good on headphones.

There I said it.

If I hear something I have to have, I purchase the CD. It appears that downloading is the only way to get this music. I listened to a sample and I NEED this music!

I have an i Mac I use for streaming. Do I just download to the desktop? I don't have any sort of nifty software.

Can I burn the music to a disc? My transport will only play Redbook.

Thanks in advance,

You can suport Carmen Gomes directly by buying her CD's from her BandCamp site; https://carmengomes.bandcamp.com/



It is one of the best way too support artists at the moment.
Lots of fine music available there.

Interesting article about Van Gelder and the Blue Note sound. I love the recordings done at the Englewood Cliffs studio and now know why, he built a large dome for reverb.
