Description
Opus 3 is an audiophile label based in Sweden and originated in 1976. It focuses on timeless, acoustic music found in jazz, folk, and classical music. What makes this disk and label special and unique is the extreme care that the producers and company have put into every aspect of the recording process from only locations (only acoustically unique and excellent environments--no studios please), best microphones and electronics (minimize the chain, only use tube amplifiers), highest quality acoustic instruments, best musicians and vocalists available for recording, and excellent choice of music. No, you won't hear artists listed on billboard top 100, but quality musicianship and vocal abilities still abound. If you really want to hear what your sound system can reproduce accurately and faithfully, look no further than this label and in particular this series of test records. Not only do they contain great music, but they allow you to evaluate and tune your system to it greatest potential. There is a great variety of musical styles, stressing the importance and neglect of dynamic in evaluating audio systems. The selected pieces offer a wide variety of dynamics, going from relatively quiet passages to sudden and powerful explosions of sound to offer the widest expressions of dynamics in music. It allows one to evaluate the quietness and subtlety of your system's sound reproduction as well as its ability to reproduce extreme loud, sudden peaks of music.
