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').

...just for some fun for the Mark & Eric fans....*s* 10:38 of time well spent....;) Too many favs, too little time to append, so I'll just.... ...run past with some diversions I like; this one gives the whole system some exorcise... Anyway....Happy Sundaze....."...what I do, isa' what I do..." |
FF: There is nothing to argue re: your statement that some groups (and their instrumentation, production, recording engineering, ad. inf.) sound better to you on a good system (also hard to simplify the variables here) than other above above referenced qualities. Mark Knopfler knows how to hit you in the right places. Strictly as a background note which may please you, Douglas Adams (alas, gone too soon at forty-nine) loved Dire Straits and mentions the fact in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (also, HIGHLY recommended). His other big favorite was Gary Brooker and Keith Reid as Procol Harum--my personal high IQ rock legends. Try "Salty Dog" from 1968, Best Fishes, HC, English Lit and Physics Lab teacher, retired. |
