Winds Of War And Peace Wilson Audiophile Vinyl
I bought this LP in 1992 and played it on my budding audiophile system which consisted of an Adcom 555 amp, Adcoms top preamp, Vandersteen 2Ci speakers and Rega Planar 3 with a Lynn K9 mm cartridge. I remember to this day thinking how God aweful it sounded back then, bright with very muddy bass.
Thinking at the time I bought a stinkeroo, I put it away and never played it again until this morning, some 27 years later. I had forgotten I had the LP. I tried it again this morning, this time with a expensive McIntosh tube preamp and Mac 300wpc amp, Technics Sl1200g with ZU/Denton DL103 mc and GE Triton Refs speakers.
The album is dead quiet, no ticks or pops. I had the volume level up at 12 o clock and as soon as the stylus hit the grooves, thought to myself how wonderful it sounded. When the bass kicked in, I was almost knocked out of my chair! I can not believe the difference in sound and I am sad I waited this long to try it again. Back in the 90’s I thought my system was the end all but now of course know better.
I see that this record is long out of print and used ones are selling for serious money. I am so happy I stumbled upon this long forgotten record and it may just be my new go to record when showing off and evaluating my system. I believe the vinyl Gods have shined down upon me today.

Dead Can Dance, "Spiritchaser" MFSL SACD
I have listened to this disk maybe 5-6 times and honestly, I think it is really terrible for regular listening. If you want to show off your system, there are some good sound effects on the disk but I don’t get it. Can some, anyone explain what type of music this is? It sounds to me like 7-8 different ethnicity in the music. So again, like Roger Daltry sang, "I really want to know, I really want to know"? Anyone/someone?
