One thing that annoys me though, on some of the recordings, which took place in different venues at different times, there is quite an audible low hiss noise which is very noticable, especially on the Ballades.
Anyway, i am currently listening to and enjoying Etudes, Op. 10.

I have Maurizio Pollini playing the Op. 10 and Op. 25 of Chopin's etudes. The sound quality is crisp and the speed and precision is great. Try that out.
