Audiophile Masters VII is an audiophile’s treat. Ten stellar recordings of music that will delight the senses and show off your system’s resolution and imaging. Start with Thom LaFond’s adventure into seeing music as colors in Synthesia, then let Bonnie Sims‘ soulful voice serenade you with the country classic, Lorena. Track after track, this high-end sampler of new, original music, coupled with a few traditional standards, is a must-have for any serious listener. Recorded in pure DSD, you can count on Octave to bring you only the finest in the recording arts.

The album starts off with Synthesia, a wonderful piece from Thom Lafond and Banshee Tree that musically expresses colors. Several tracks later, we’re enjoying the guitar pickings of Eric Wiggs, and then we go to the soulful country twang of Bonnie Sims. Before you know it, we’re on to some beautifully played piano pieces captured perfectly in Pure DSD. The last three pieces on the album are jazz from saxophonist, Briana Harris, keyboardist, Tom Amend, and closing out the album is trumpet master, Gabriel Mervine. Audiophile Masters VII gives the thrill of stretching your high-end audio system’s limits to see what magic it can produce.
