right on with jasonbourne52. I have some of those Mercury Living Presence SACDs. It's another world. I have jazz recordings I listen to for the musicianship...not the recording quality. They are tough to go to after listening to Chesky recordings.
Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording?
I have a pair of B&W 805d3’s. Strictly analog system. Source is the Clearaudio Ovation, Hana SL cart. Herron VTPH-2A phono stage. Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II integrated amp. The speakers sound great most of the time. I have many records that cause the speakers to essentially disappear with a holographic sound stage, beautiful imaging and great dynamics. Some other records, not so much. Curious if there’s a way to achieve disappearing speakers no matter what recording you throw at them? Thanks!
