Tutti SACD Sampler review!
SA-CD.net has reviewed our Tutti! SACD Sampler: Review by Castor August 6, 2010Sonics: 5/5 Stars ‘Tutti!’ is Reference Recordings first release on SACD of a selection of excerpts from some of their many audiophile recordings made over the past fourteen years.

RR has a virtually unbroken history of making the finest possible high resolution recordings. We started with analog tape.
