ECM now available for streaming on Qobuz and TIDAL - too good to be true?

[AnotherSpin]

I was lucky to grow on a diet of ECM LPs in 70-80s. Some of my first purchased jazz LPs were from ECM catalogue. Keith Jarrett, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Terje Rypdal, John Abercrombie, Ralph Towner, Eberhard Weber, Chick Corea, etc., etc. It was a paragon of the sound quality which was not equaled by any of other recording labels of the time. Unfortunately, this pristine ECM sound was never quite reproduced by later CDs. This may be the reason that Mr. Eicher is not in a hurry to embrace current digital formats, for old recordings in particular.
