You can easily compare the Brahms by Supraphon or the Elgar by Testament. While, please, feel free to compare 2 24-bit files, once already released, the second comes from us, when we were testing the Phoenix Mastering process... Dean Martin's Volare.
Enjoy!

The Pheonix version of Dean Martin's Volare does sound very good I have to say.  However, I am not so sure about the comparison offered here.  The 'other' version does sound pretty poor, in fact I have just spent about 5 minutes on Spotify and it was easy to find a couple of other versions that sounded vastly better than the 'original' version provided for comparison here, so it's almost like the original is deliberately selected for it's poor quality.  Perhaps I'm missing the point a bit, but this looks like salesmanship to me.  To be clear, this is just a bit of a moan at the comparison offered here, as I said the Phoenix version does sound good, I just think a more meaningful comparison should have been provided.

So do I. As easy as this:

'Perhaps, Phoenix, you are allowed to give us a 30s teaser of one track of the original source of the Navarra recordings  ? That would be very kind (and of good promotion)  . '

But to give Phoenix some credits, he said that the 1st is actually the 'original source'. For me that's the Master Tape EVERY other copy/remaster is made of. So the several other copies you found were somehow remastered. One has to find the best of these several remaster versions to compare to the Phoenix Remaster. Then one would get a picture of the claimed 'big leap' of Phoenix Remastering compared to the best available until now (if there is...but I can imagine there is).
