Pink Floyd Aficionados


So as we progress on our audiophile journey one of the greatest rewards is hearing something new in a recording that we've never heard before; at least it is for me.

I have heard Animals easily a hundred times since it's release.

This has to do with the Sheep track.

I placed a new to me preamp in the chain recently. In the last 20 seconds there is a ghost vocal that I had never heard. Originally it was 4 notes which were indistinguishable but clearly there. 

Even more recently I upgraded my speakers from Von Schweikert VR4 Jrs to VS VR4 SRMKIII. Now those same notes, while still indistinguishable, have expanded to what seems to be a shepherd faintly directing the flock from a distance.

Has anyone else heard these? I know there are more resolving systems than mine by a wide margin so my question is does it become even more resolved to the point of being able to make out the words?

This one of my favorite albums of all time and will check it out.  I just got my new Focal Arias and hoping I can pick up on it.  Great Post!

Man, I don't know.  I put my "regular" CD in, Couldnt find my SACD at the moment.  Turned up my Focal Aria's and only heard some mumbling with the Birds and Sheep.  Need to put the headphones on and hook up the Project PS2 amp..... will report back.  LOL
