Anybody tell me what "Black Diamonded" means?
The last stupendous recording of a thunderstorm that I can recall was one made by Ed Nunn for his Audiophile Records label. (It was called Echoes of the Storm, it was in mono, and it was black-diamonded years and years ago.) That recording is still unequalled for gut-shuddering bass and giant-firecracker hangings of dangerously close strikes. But this one runs it a close second.J. Gordon Holt

It means deleted. The old Schwann record catalog used to put a black diamond next to the listing of a record that the manufacturer was deleting from its catalog.

Thanks for the explanation. I should have known that given that Stereophile owned the Schwann Guides from 1993 to 1998.
