FIM, pour First Impression Music, était une petite maison d'édition de passionnés de beau son, qui retravaillait certains albums aux petits oignons : K2 HD mastering 24 bits 100 k, UltraHD 32 bits, XRCD2, etc.
Le catalogue n'était pas très fourni mais très qualitatif.
A ma connaissance, FIM n'existe plus.
"FIM (First Impression Music) is an audiophile record label specializing in the production of high-quality music recordings. Founded by Winston Ma, FIM aims to combine exceptional sound quality and musical excellence. The label is known for its audiophile releases, which are created using state-of-the-art recording and mastering techniques and offer a particularly detailed, dynamic sound reproduction. FIM works primarily with jazz, classical and world music and places the highest demands on the fidelity of its productions. Particularly popular are its high-quality formats such as XRCD (Extended Resolution Compact Disc) and SACD (Super Audio CD), which offer an incomparable listening experience. FIM's releases are aimed at music lovers and audiophiles looking for the best sonic performance. With its focus on quality and innovation, FIM has gained international recognition in the audiophile community."
Quant à SHM-CD, c'est une variante du CD qui prend soin du support physique : "CD standard utilisant une surface en polycarbonate de très haute qualité et transparence permettant une lecture plus précise et stable par le faisceau laser."
Voilà, tu sais tout
