“The PopeMusic Dynamic Fidelity process is about the art of listening; not just a list of impressive equipment nor some snobby approach to the recording arts. It is a pledge to you our customers to always seek out the best process, the best equipment, to strive for that ‘Holy Grail’ of audio reproduction: transparency, realism, sound staging and dynamic range in order to bring the listener to as close as possible to the original performance. At Pope Music we strive for the ‘Gooseflesh’ effect. It is a never ending quest that will constantly change and evolve with the state-of-the-art.”
These disks are all recorded with two B&K Omnidirectional microphones using Mark Levinson designed Cello custom microphone preamplifiers, Apogee AD1000 A/D converter, a Nagra D 4-track open reel recorder and Cello Strings cabling. Monitoring was done using the Cello Encore Line preamp, the Cello Audio Palette tone eq system, a Cello Duet350 power amplifier and Cello Premiere speakers.

Lori Lieberman-Home of Whispers
Although this is not classical music, Lori Lieberman is a sensitive folk composer/singer-she wrote Roberta Flack’s ‘Killing Me Softly’ for instance. The recording chain is the same as the above classical music CDs, and the sonic quality is sheer perfection. You will be initially drawn to the audio quality, but stay for the music
