1980's. Infinity QA speakers with emit ribbon tweeters. Playing Pink Floyd The Wall LP, on a Rabco st-7 turntable, yamaha "natural sound" receiver switch set to class A. I got up out of my chair to look out my window to see who's kids were laughing and playing outside in my front yard. There was no one out there. It was side 1, cut 3 on the Pink Floyd album creating a beautiful illusion of a virtual reality in my living room.
I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments?
Had a productive couple of weeks on the used gear market and today has been digital demo day (Analog arrives next week). Added a Bryston BCD-3 and original Tara Labs Prime I/C’s to my system at very good prices.
I don’t have “golden ears” by any stretch but I’m gob smacked at the results.
The BCD-3 is replacing an Oppo UDP-205 w/ DHL BL-1 I/C’s. Rest of gear is an Anthem STR integrated and ML Monti’s. My bass has easily doubled, maybe tripled. I can feel the pressurization in my room and it’s tight not bloated.
I think this has been the biggest jump up in SQ I’ve experienced. What were your biggest surprises/improvements regardless of budget?
