Title: Just say no to AMSI (AMbient Sound Imaging)
Product review: Not sure what led Deutsche Grammophon/Universal to use AMSI (AMbient Sound Imaging), a kind of simulated "surround". To use an analogy, it's like colorizing a good B/W film. The use of AMSI was one of the WORST mistakes DG/Universal has ever made in terms of sound engineering. The stereo image completely loses focus via this "technology". This is especially bad news for EARLY DIGITAL RECORDINGS, which lack "focus" and imaging to begin with. AMSI does not make the recording sound better. Too bad -- the track selection chosen for Fur Elise is quite good.
