It would have to be my most recent upgrade to my new Bryston 4B3 amplifier. A new friend came over today and happened to hear music playing and asked to see my system. I had no idea he was a musician and had a few albums on Qobuz. So I put him in the chair and played his own album and a few others. He freaked. So he gets home and wants the list of every component after asking a bunch of questions. His Uncle is an Audiophile and wanted to know more as well. His quote from his text " I can’t handle my stereo now, So Bad, And its better than 98% of households. Yours is like other worldly bro. My Uncle want’s to sell his car now and go shopping. 12k? That’s encouraging, tho that’s a fortune. I thought it was a 30k setup based on the sound. I can’t imagine it better than that. "
Yes, Rewarding to hear confirmation from someone else who spends a lot of time in a studio and knows music. He had never experienced Maggies properly driven in a treated room. I have no other friends interested in audio so this was a first. He heard stuff on his own album he had not heard before, including his breathing. (Acoustic with no vocals). Needless to say I am pleased because I have never been able to get an educated opinion and to me it is normal everyday music.
