"Let's talk about recordings from the audiophile consumer's viewpoint. Some recordings have great music but with mediocre sonic quality. Likewise, some have great sound, but with little musical value. Audiophile consumers do not always have the fortune to find a recording which is great both in music and sound. They may follow a reviewer's recommendation, but frequently, the reviewer's subjective views may not coincide with the listener's subjective response. That is why an audiophile often feels so excited when he happens to spot one that is good both in music and sound. With this conceptual objective in mind, I compiled this special edition with meticulous care for both qualities in sound and music, and music and sound." - Winston Ma, First Impression Music
