On this thread, I'm going to list stereo recordings that I have found to be particularly enhanced by BACCH processing. I've found that BACCH enhances essentially all stereo recordings, but with some recordings, the difference is more striking than with others.
The lists of classical music and jazz will focus on entire albums or works. The list of popular music will focus on individual songs because different songs on the same album often are recorded differently.
All recordings below are either CDs or Tidal HiFi versions unless otherwise noted.
I'll add to the list as I keep listening and thinking of other things that sound particularly amazing through BACCH. I'd encourage other BACCH listeners to add to the thread if they can.
