TORONTO TAVES 2011 COVERAGE

Canada’s Oracle Audio had a room that contained The Vienna Acoustics Klimt The Kiss speakers along with every product they make. The highlight,though, was seeing singer Anne Bisson there and hearing her new release, Portraits & Perfumes, on LP and CD, using Oracle’s CD player and turntable, of course. Comparing the two formats was interesting. In our opinion, the LP won out by having just a little more presence and soul. What was also surprising was the LP’s lack of surface noise and the fact that it was pressed in Montreal, Bisson’s hometown.
