AUDIOPHILE AUDITION focuses on recordings of interest to audiophiles and collectors, with an accent on surround sound for music, and on all hi-res disc formats.  Over 100 SACD, DVD Video/Audio and standard CD reviews are published during each month, and our archives go back to January 2001.  
 
Our Drawing-Giveaway for May is for a pair of double-disc CD + DVD packages from the new jazz label Resonance Records.  The four discs will be sent out to ten of our AUDIOPHILE AUDITION readers whose names will be drawn from those who registered here on the site this month. The first album is from noted pianist/composer Mike Garson and we reviewed it Here.  The second is from the exciting Swedish guitarist Andreas Oberg and it's reviewed Here. You can register here, and when you do please drop us a hint in the comments field if your primary interest in registering was this particular drawing. See this our current Editorial Page for more details.  

Check back with us frequently for new reviews & news!
