Quartet Equinox – Philip's Wish SACD (hybrid)
We were sent this nice CD from www.QuartetEquinox.com.
It is definitely audiophile grade. Lots of separation and very quiet backgrounds.
The music itself is a mix, mostly quiet jazz but a few numbers are, well, now as quiet. Still, every song would do well at an audiophile show. Sort of in the Diana Krall kind of genre but without any singing.
I played this for a group of people the same night we heard the new Frampton and new Hendrix.
This Quartet Equinox SACD is definitively a very high quality recording. As good as the new FIM? Yes, could be. A little hard to tell with just this one CD, and with not very complex music. But it is indeed very close… a contender!
