Two thoughts... you might be drinking the wrong wimpy Syrah... our house Syrah is DAVIS Family from Healdsburg. For a real Petite with correct spelling and California fruit, I can highly highly recommend a truckload batch from Romeo in Sequim WA from Lost Mountain Winery - it has cellared extremely well. Thanks for the correction
Amplifier warm up
I was plalying Boz Scaggs, "Silk Degrees" LP. After side one, I ate dinner. One hour later I played side 2. The second side sounded clearer, more vibrant with better sound stage. I have a Parasound P6 preamp and Parasound Halo A21+ amp. Is it possible that an hour of warm up improved performance?
