What's your system response on " Feels like home"

No, Rotarius. I don't like the TIZZY sounds.I do not knock tube sounds either. As a matter of fact, I am trying to sell one of my 400Xi to get the tube-intergrated. Again, there is no battle between tubes vs SS here. My apology to all tuby heads. Just a fact that, as much as I love NJ first CD, her second CD sounds darn-good in my car stereo ( little on the bright side)but the second " Feel like home" sounds overly open and too much bass in my home set-up system. However the " comes away with me" sounds wonderful at home or on the roads. I read some where in this web, the 400XI is ruthless to its source. Maybe, that is the case here.Happy listenning.

Rotarius, you are pretty sharp. (1)Yes, I do not like the " vocal too up front" and heavy bass. Just my own preference. The "Love scenes" by DK is my personal reference CD for testing different gears for vocal. (2)Don't know yet. Tried Rogue ( magnum series/mono blks) but they don't sound like tubes. Tried some CJ back in the 80s with 250w CJ SS and their line stage tubes and such a coloration added to my SL3 ML.So far, very sacry experience to return opened gears, paid 15 or more restocking fees and still made the Audio salon unhappy.

Art, interesting enough, I dropped the " Feels like home" into my son Onkyo receiver with his Yamaha speakers, the CD sounds just fine. I enjoy NJ cds and just wish the " Feels at home" cd was little brighter or less dark as it was recoreded.

I have recently purchase a Krell KAV 250 CDP. Using the same NJ " Feels like home" track #2, it sounds quite smooth and natural. Miss NJ, my apology to you.

I have recently purchase a Krell KAV 280 CDP. Using the same NJ " Feels like home" track #2, it sounds quite natural and not as dark as with the Sony CDP. Miss NJ, my apology to you.
