100 albums (included 4 singles), 583 editions reviewed, the complete list …

I’d like to start by thanking you all for your encouragement and messages.

The milestone of 100 albums tested (including 4 singles) has just been reached, representing 583 versions analyzed across a diversity of media ranging from 8-track cartridges, cassette, vinyl, digital CD, DVD, Bluray, SACD, DAT and streaming media (Qobuz, Tidal, Apple, Amazon).

With a diversity of audio formats from mono to spatial audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Reality Audio.

And in many styles of music: Jazz, Classical, Pop, Rock…

This 100-album milestone is an opportunity to ask the question: what is the ideal medium for listening to music?

I’d like to say, if you choose this medium, you’ll always get the best quality, but the answer isn’t that simple, because the result doesn’t just depend on the medium; in fact, for the same album, the result also depends on the edition chosen.

So it’s the media/edition combination that defines the best version of an album. Behind this combination lies mastering, which can change according to the media and editions used.

For example, an original edition may be better than a recent reissue that has undergone dynamic compression. It is therefore preferable to listen to the original version, but beware of the medium, as there may be differences between CD and streaming for the same edition, as in the case of Sinéad O’Connor’s album I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, but this is not always the case.

So there’s no universal rule: each album must be analyzed individually.

Below you’ll find a list of all the tests, with direct links to each album.

Happy reading and listening
