HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS

I am serious.  I work VERY hard to have the best system I can.  I have made many upgrades and am more than happy with my equipment.  I stream 100% of the time, mostly form Qobuz.  My digital front end is highly optimized.  But when I want my system to sound AMAZING?

 

I play Mark Knopfler or my favorite  Dire Straits.  Seriously.  It is recorded so exceptionally  well, and seems to have harmonics which just please the ear and soul.  I often think it sounds a bit 'tube like', as my system is all solid state.  There are just no offending sounds, and never sibilance.  I could list songs, but it would be easier to just list the one not to play ('Money for Nothing').

Back in the 60-70s. Most recordings were done with vacuum tube equipment 

some still do that has a big influence ,also who is doing the mixing 

that’s why theBeatles sounded so good on most albums, they tried solid state mixers on  1-2 albums then went back to tubes ,Allen Parsons was excellent 

on the mixing board . 80-90s much music was recorded a bit  tipped up a bit during the era of disco  and boom boxes ..
