Various Artists EASCA Competition Evaluation & Demonstration Disc 2009 CD

EASCA's competition division provides a platform for all sound-quality fans in Europe. Although this CD is designed for judging a car-stereo-system, it is also a very helpful tool for your home stereo. But it is not only a tool, because tools are for working. It is a collection of some very fine Stockfisch tracks, designed for your audiophile pleasure.
A sampler (CD-audio) with well-known stockfish tracks selected by the EASCA (European Auto Sound Association) from the Stockfish repertoire.
This CD was supplemented with helpful test signals for setting, testing and evaluating the car hi-fi or home stereo systems.
From the booklet of the EASCA CD:
"Hifi is always an illusion. An illusion that tempts your imagination by making your eyes see what you are listening to. You can help your imagination by closing your eyes. EASCA's competition division provides a platform for all sound-quality fans in Europe. In 2008 we started with eight nations all over Europe. Although this CD is designed for judging a car-stereo system, it is also a very helpful tool for your home stereo. But it is not only a tool, because tools are for working. It is a collection of some very fine stockfish tracks, designed for your audiophile pleasure."
