Ake: The audio quality on the Stereophile CD's I own is excellent, although I have not always found the performances to be terribly stimulating. I use the disks mostly for "demo" purposes, or when I am checking the sound of my system, but I rarely play the disks for their musical content. The exception to this case may be the recent clarinet quintet recording, which features a fine chamber group and soloist and excellent audio quality.
