Hi Msn50, are you talking about the latest one? Because if you are, I have to agree with you that it doesn't sound very good. I strongly prefer the sound of some her earlier releases to the latest one, and there are others from many artists that I in turn favor over any of hers. I am no sound engineer, and only trust my ears, but that's my 2 pennies. I like the way the JVC XRCD2s sound, specifically, Chet Atkins In Hollywood, and Jacintha's releases. Incredible! Happy listening!
