The above transfers will be VASTLY superior to those of  'Pristine Audio' :  MusicWeb   But, Lo...here's: Donald Clarke ("Symphonyshare" 25 March 2013 - 'New Mercury Living Presence box') who says: "Still doesn't have Hanson's wonderful recording of Piston's 3rd symphony dfrom 1953. But the Pristine transfer is very, very good".  So Yet Another Cloth-Eared C*nt who keeps 'Mr Pristine' in €€€€€'s!!!  
(His sounds awful: low-level information (studio noise, included) has also 'vanished'..)   Sleeve-notes >>>
