I own a quite a few of them. In fact prcatically a whole catalogue. The sound quality is 'very different' than mass market and even some other audiophile label. In that the recordings have very realistic timbers, ambience, pace (when music is involving)and dynamics. Most of the times. I, too, feel at times that mid range does sound a little off neutral (or as Mr T describes it, a little funny).
MAPLESHADE RECORDINGS
I just purchased 4 Mapleshade CD's and can only say these people know how to record music. No compression, just
clear beautiful music. I purchased Tao Ruspoli, a Flamenco Guitarist Cd, Makin Whoopee, by the King/Bluiett Trio,Sunny Sumter, and Kendra Shank. All of the above sound wonderful and the music is also excellent. Some Cd's
make you want to turn off oyur music and do someting else. These will make you sit and listen.
