Classical masterpiece collection

The ESOTERIC’s “Masterpiece Collection Series” brings back superb performance humankind created by using Esoteric’s high-end equipment, under supervision by Mr. Ohmachi.

The vinyl records of the “Masterpiece Collection” have been reissued by re-mastering the original master, exclusive for the vinyl records.

Digitally re-mastered using "Esoteric Mastering"

The mastering process employs the "Esoteric Mastering" system, including ESOTERIC's "Master Sound Discrete DAC" and "Master Sound Discrete Clock." In addition, MEXCEL cables are employed to achieve as flawless a high-quality sound as is the master data.

The output of the "Esoteric Mastering" system is connected directly to the Neumann SP79C cutting console. The "Esoteric Mastering" sound are sent directly to the cut process, bypassing the equalizer section of the console.
