Background -
OPUS 3 of SWEDEN is a well known audiophile label. Their music software (CD and LP) competes with the likes of other grand audiophile labels like; MFSL, Sheffield Lab, Reference Recordings, Wilson Audio, Proprius, Mark Levinson, etc..
The company is a relatively small independent Swedish recording company dedicated to recording timeless acoustical music such as jazz, folk, and classical. What makes their recordings so special?
Opus 3's aim is to reproduce voices and instruments as naturally and accurately as possible.
To attain the above goals, the company chooses recording environments with good natural ambiance.
The musicians placement is also carefully planned so that the best possible musical communication between the players and the venue is attained.
They avoid all forms of device and electronic manipulation that could change the natural sound.
Their recordings try to recreate and give the listener the best possible feeling and atmosphere that were felt at the moment of recording! If you haven't done so already, give a few of the Opus 3 titles a spin, you won't be sorry!
