The further I come along in this audio journey, the less I refer to my reference albums to check on my system. Reason is I get sick listening to this couple dozen albums over and over again. I much rather play a wider inventory even so it has some sound limitations, because by now I can easily discern those shortcomings and work on my system accordingly. I have been purposely ignoring my reference albums so I can enjoy their music once again down the road. To me life is too short to let my system narrow down my musical experience to a few reference albums no matter how great they sound.
