Stereo Sound, Japan – Review of the

REFERENCE ANNIVERSARY TURNTABLE

Courtesy of Stereo Sound magazine we are honored to provide the following highlights:

« The obvious precision in the manufacturing of this product is the very essence of NAGRA. »

« The delicate and refined sound also has a unique charm that is unmatched. The texture is of the highest quality and extremely organic, with an outstanding amount of information, but with an impressive level of dignity that never flaunts it. The sound is delicate, yet generous, and reveals a uniquely rich audio world with plenty of room to breathe. »

Thank you to Stereo Sound team for this outstanding review.

You need to buy the magazine if you want to know more ! 😉

« The NAGRA 70th Year Anniversary Collection offers simply beautiful music selected, recorded, mastered, and transferred to the black grooves by René Laflamme with fanatical dedication and the utmost passion, resulting in a reference authority of music with instantaneous immediacy and lifelike presence.

This album is a pure audiophile reference collection of recordings that can be enjoyed with full concentration on the music, rather than analytically dissecting the sound.

[…]

The NAGRA 70th Year Anniversary Collection album is not the usual analog ahoy, but a true balm for the soul with precipitating effects and tactile reality checks on all four sides of the Nagra double vinyl album. »

Thank you Matej for these special comments.

Nagra LP review

Please find herewith the translation of some higlights of the review

[…] This year, they […] made a special edition Nagra 70th Anniversary LP album, which is a set of 45 RPM double LP, including 7 tracks famous jazz songs, plus four tracks newly recorded by the producer. After I listened to it, I confirmed that this is the most serious and produced vinyl LP set album in the world, and the high-end sounds quality are also the most suitable as a test and demonstration LP. This set of LPs priced at 99.90 Euros. It seems a bit expensive, but after it was released, it was snapped up by audiophiles from everywhere.

[…]

René Laflamme produced this 70th anniversary LP, and is also the owner of the famous 2xhd Mastering records company, who […] released many albums with the same excellent sound, and has been listed as the best album on the <CD Bible> chart already. This time, they made this commemorative LP for Nagra, in which there are two tracks by two jazz masters: Bill Evans, in 1966 and Louis Armstrong’s track from a 1961 performance. The rest of the remastered jazz recordings are also very excellent, and also includes a percussion drum sound track by Mr. Latour, recorded on Neumann vacuum tube microphones. The playing time is one minute and thirty seconds and the Hi-Fi sound is so good that it is difficult to describe in words. Please turn up the volume and enjoy it carefully. »

A huge thanks to CNA Music Limited for their review !!
