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.

Oops, I said my favourite performance of Samson and Delila is from Copenhagen, but it is actually from Antwerp.  Not even the same country ... and it can still be found on the web!

@rvpiano Happy you are listening at a reasonable volume. It does make a difference, doesn't it?

@rvpiano 

Thanks for sharing your excitement over this album.  I don't often listen to classical music but I am on track 10 and boy what a treat.  

I checked my level and the dbs are mostly in the low 70s with the peaks hitting low 80s which seems to be a nice level to really appreciate the music

@richardbrand , sorry so late for a response. Admittedly, my classical music listening participation is quite less than the posters here, on this particular thread. I am a rock and jazz guy, 45/45...A great example of an exquisite "studio, multi track" recording, would be "Welcome to the Pleasuredome", an album which is uncanny for its work put in by Trevor Horn, the producer. Likely not an album you would listen to (I might be wrong), but I am a huge fan of this debut studio album by FGTH. It is also a great soundtrack to fine tune a system. Somewhere on here, I started a thread on this particular recording....My best, MrD. 

@rvpiano, I hope you are having a great day, are able to relax and enjoy your music listening. My best, MrD.
