Perhaps it is difficult for many burners to react to the name "RR" at once, but to mention the famous best-selling fever films from his family, "Red Devil" and "Tutti", it can be said that everyone knows it. The well-known names of "TAS Super CD List Top Ten Must-Listen Plates", "Hong Kong Audiophile Audio 13th Anniversary Special Issue", "One of the Three Most Beautiful CDs Heard in the Past Year", and "Heavenly Disc in The Sky Disc" are all produced by the famous American audiophile record brand "RR", which shows its extraordinary features.
Founded more than 40 years ago, RR has gone through the depression of LPs and the boom of CDs, and now it has entered the decline of ordinary CDs, but they have always been able to survive with their own leading recording technology. None of his albums are not the best in the running. You may not necessarily like the musical content and interpretation style, but you can't deny the amazing recording technology of Dr. Keith Johnson of RR.
For a long time, a series of audiophile works recorded by "RR" have been regarded by audiophiles around the world as the "reference standard" for audio replay, and it is also a demonstration record used by major Hi-End audio manufacturers, and the 6 records introduced below are excellent representatives.

MAHLE's Song of the Earth CD
Song of the Earth, a symphonic suite, composed by Mahler in 1908. Although the work is a symphony, it does not give it a number of symphonies. In the order of Mahler's works, this work should be ranked as the "Ninth Symphony", but because "Ninth" was considered unlucky by Mahler (because Beethoven, Schubert, and Dvořák all died after writing their Ninth Symphony), it was finally named "Song of the Earth". The work uses the German version of hans bethge's "Flute of China" seven Chinese Tang poems as lyrics, which is unique in the history of Western music.
The record was performed by the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ryo RR's resident "guest", Eiji Daisuke, and the singing section was performed by Di Yang and Qiang Vilas, two experienced singers, who properly expressed the elegant mood of Chinese poetry art, while Daisuke's succinct and concise conductor had the tenacity and strength of a needle in the cotton. Written by RR recording guru Keith Johnson, this series is incredibly dynamic and has excellent sound quality.

Red Devil CD
RR's crowning work, published in 1998, was highly praised by the industry as "the first day of professional testing in the United States", "the explosive strength of the heart and lungs can not be described by pen and ink".

Comparable to its music, the entire album selection is all classical music that expresses ghosts, such as Liszt's "Mephisto Round Dance" and so on, which makes this record worthy of the standard of fever, whether it is sound or music. It is one of the best-selling albums of several records ever released by RR.

Like the CD's first song Susato's "The Man of Morrisco", the music is short, but the recording brings the beautiful tone, strong rhythm and warm scene of the pipe band to life, and the original album (RR-104) won The Absolute Sound's Golden Ear Award and was selected by The New York Times as one of the best records in 2004.
If you want to count the most outstanding sound effects, it is the two organ works on the album: Bach's "Organ Prelude in D major" and Liszt's "B-A-C-H Prelude", which are majestic and spatial, and the sound of the organ is like a flood.
The album uses HDCD technology with higher resolution and degree of reproduction than ordinary CD.

Even when played on an ordinary laser record player, its sound quality is improved compared to ordinary CDs, and when playing HDCD encoded records on a laser record player equipped with an HDCD decoder, the sound quality is even more beautiful.
As early as the early 1990s, the world's first HDCD was born at RR. RR is arguably a pioneer in HQCD technology and was the first record label to raise CD fidelity to the level of premium analog mastering. This album can be said to be the crystallization of RR's high-level recording technology, and the beautiful melody and clear and transparent sound effects make the already good listening experience to a higher level.
Excellent test performance is a must for RR records, and this "Model Recording 30th Anniversary Selection" is no exception - low-frequency rigidity, strength, and huge dynamics, allowing you to enjoy the shock of HiFi excellence in more than 70 minutes and experience the charm of "model".
