It's claims are (from HFN&RR, July 1990): After nine Jazz selections, each a showcase for the company's proprietary 128-times oversampling technology, the _Chesky Jazz Sampler Volume I_ offers conclusive tests to show the existence of such disputed characteristics as (1) image height, (2) stage width beyond the speaker's edges, (3) stage depth and (4) absolute polarity. These illustrations are so vivid that they can be used to silence those who argue that such sonic properties are 'imaginary'. This disk settles it, once and for all. Has anyone listened to this CD? Has it been reviewed anywhere? And the bottom line: It is worth purchasing?
