Test

I’ve played the Mercury Living Presence sampler “You are There” on all incarnations of my setup for many years.  With each improvement of my rig it’s sounded better.  Until now, finally it’s sounding the way it really should.  It’s a great confirmation that I’m doing things right after many years of experimenting, with advice from this forum.

+1, @onhwy61 

You beat me to it…IME, we really don’t…not with absolute certainty. There’s just too many variables at play. 

IMHO, you’ll never know exactly what the artist or recording engineer intended. But you can strive to build a system and environment that prioritizes transparency, emotion and engagement with music and that might be as close as any of us can reasonably get.

In any case, I’m happy for OP; enjoy every moment of your new found bliss!

Thanks for sharing the playlist.

This is a great sampler as far content goes, the Qobuz version does sound little bit lean. So I decided to pick up CD copy for $5, it would be interesting to compare how CD ripped version stacks up against the Qobuz version.
