McIntosh Vinyl, SESSIONS Volume 1: The Peter Erskine Quartet

Welcome to McIntosh SESSIONS Volume 1, an album created with the utmost care and attention to detail in the pursuit of sonic perfection. Recorded and mastered on analog tape, it offers a rich, high-resolution vinyl experience that transports you directly into the studio—allowing you to experience the musicians' captivating performance and their original sound firsthand.

“This is a 100% top-quality all-analog production… an outstanding-sounding record in every respect… the sound deserves a Tracking Angle 11 [out of 11]… an audiophile demo record with spectacularly natural sound, ideal for putting a system to the test… This record shows how good analog can sound, how excellent McIntosh systems are, how high-quality this recording is—and unfortunately also how mediocre many recordings in our record collections are.”
