In 1995, producer Steve Guttenberg and Chesky Records created the Ultimate Demonstration Disc, a landmark release that became an essential tool for audiophiles worldwide. Thirteen years later, building on everything they had learned about capturing the purest sound, Guttenberg returned to produce The Ultimate Demonstration Disc, Volume 2. Designed to bridge the gap between technical terminology and the listening experience, this collection serves as a practical guide to the audiophile lexicon. On each track, Guttenberg "spells out" exactly what to listen for, providing clear musical examples of concepts like "transparency" and "soundstage depth." By using a custom-built recording chain and avoiding dynamic range compressors, equalizers, or overdubbing, the album captures a "live" session exactly as the microphones heard it-resulting in a sound so neutral and natural that it can be used to reveal the subtle differences between high-end speakers, electronics, and cables.The Ultimate Demonstration Disc, Volume 2 will be reissued in 2026 on 180g One-step Pressing Double Vinyl LP, SACD Hybrid Stereo, and MQA-CD as part of the Chesky Original Masters series.
