Soundsmith SMMC1 moving-iron phono cartridge

The audio industry may have lost a legend and a prolific innovator in <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/news/11260">Henry Kloss</A> a few years back, but it still has another affable, creative eccentric in <A HREF="http://blog.stereophile.com/ces2008/011008smith/">Peter Ledermann</A>. In the mid-1970s, Ledermann was director of engineering at <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/historical/1005bozak">Bozak</A&gt;, where, with Rudy Bozak, he helped develop a miniature bookshelf speaker and a miniature powered subwoofer. Before that, Ledermann was a design engineer at RAM Audio Systems, working with Richard Majestic on the designs of everything from high-power, minimal-feedback power amplifiers and preamplifiers to phono cartridge systems. He was also an award-winning senior research engineer at IBM, and the primary inventor of 11 IBM patents.

Classical recording with huge/extreme dynamic range?

Hello:

Can my fellow audiophiles recommend me a classical recording with huge/extreme dynamic range?

I am not much informed about classical music but I am bored with compressed recordings.

I need full orchestra music. Kindly only recommend CDs, no SACD, DVD-A, LP. Also apart from music recommendation, I shall appreciate the details for CD label/ recording company so I can buy the exact CD.

Something that will be enjoyable but will also test the limits of equipment!

Regards
