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?

@jastralfu I start picking it up in the last 20-25 seconds and becoming more apparent 15 seconds or less.

@ricmci I certainly hope you don't hear it on your car stereo! It would shatter my admiration of my home stereo!

Are you certain you weren’t listening to the recently released version (2022) with significantly changed mixing? It’s fabulous, but make sure your changes weren’t from the source itself. 
 

You don’t mention if you were listening to vinyl, CD, SACD (the version I have), or streaming. If you streamed it I can almost guarantee that’s the remix. 
 

 

What kind of dac do you have that’s the sourse the better the dac the more information , also quality of audio cables  speakers ,  many people don’t realize Thst in your speakers , like the quads mentioned the internal parts in all butthe most expensive the Xover parts are not that good which is the ♥️ or 🧠 of all loudspeakers. I have been upgrading speakers for years look in your speaker pull a driver just to see the vast majority of people will be Very dissapointed. 
I upgraded several speakers recently someone sent me the crites Xover ,

totally low grade quality , go to Humble  homemade hifi capacitor test , most use $2 resistors , Path audio ,or Mundorf ultra are tops , capacitors foils are best ,but there are some verygood quality poly caps also , just check it out.
