This is a box with 10 SACDs to celebrate PentaTone’s 10th anniversary. From each year of PentaTone’s existence we have taken one SA-CD. Not necessarily the best sellers and award winners, but a fine selection presenting as much as possible all the artists PentaTone is/has been working with. As a bonus we have added a sampler SA-CD with tracks of other PentaTone albums (so the box includes 11 SA-CDs). On this sampler you will also find surround sound effects and test tones (which enable to adjust the position of the speakers of a HiFi set into the ideal position).
