Here’s what Malcom stewart has to say about the Shahinian Compass;

What is harder to articulate, but which represents the most crucial factor, is the Shahinians’ ability to knit all the instruments’ and players’ individual sounds and performances together so compellingly and utterly persuasively, something it does with ease and completely without artifice. If one listens to many hi-fi components, one often detects a quality that can only be described as plasticky; they create a sense that one is definitely listening to a CD or LP, an artificial and mechanical fabrication of the original performance. The Compass comes tantalisingly close to allowing one to suspend disbelief utterly and allow oneself to accept as true, if only for a fleeting moment or several, that the musicians are actually with you in the room”
