Recording quality of Dorian?


I noticed that Dorian has a lot of recordings in the kinds of music I like. What do you think about their recording quality - from your experience, how good are they? Where do they stand comparing to the best (Chesky, Audioquest, MA, etc)?

Absolutely agree with Newbee. Dorian has been one of the "audiophile" labels for a long time in terms of their sonics, and their smaller ensemble recordings from the acoustic gem called the Troy Music Hall, which is the town where they are or were originally headquartered, are among the best you'll ever hear. The ensembles and artists they record are top-notch musicians too--one of them, the New York Kammermusic ensemble, often performs in the lobby of my building, and I will always take time out from my day to hear them play. They have recently merged with Reference Recordings; I'd say that it is not a step down for either of those companies.
Dmitrydr: I never noticed anything wrong with the Reveries CD. Will have to listen to it again, but I'm not sure what you're talking about--any specific tracks? There is a very light bass drum roll in the Sibelius which might be the "hum" you're referring to?
