1markr, today, could even be the day...Whasup buddy, this year going better? How is YOUR system sounding these days?
No hard feelings, Gandme.
Just counting the days.....till my NWO-2.5 arrives :-)
Fplanner, Guido,AckmanOO,I will be trying many, over the next few months, and will let you know what I like best. Remember, as in most things, the quality is too MY ears, in MY system, and is only MHO. YMMV.
I finally have a little time to enjoy some music today, using the Ridgestreet Alethias PC. I have about 100 hours on NWO now, and all is progressing very nicely. I cannot say how much change there is from burn in, but, I can say that listening to Vaya Con Dios(What's a woman)I am hearing this well recorded disc, like I am in the venue itself. I canot say if this was recorded, in studio, or hall, but, it sure sounds like a hall. I am hearing the CD
with startling dynamic swings. Music is just natural, textured, and holistic, with the most amazing soundstage properties I have EVER had in my system. I love it when I have the hair on my neck stand up, and shivers down my spine. I am just loving the amount information that is REALLY on these little silver/gold disc's. I knew my speakers were fast, but, I have NEVER heard them sound this great.

I have also been amazed at listening lesser quality disc's from the 80's with my personnal choice of classic rock, just sound so much better than I have heard in years. I used to have to go to a buddy's home, to listen to Aerosmith(toys in the attic)Deep Purple(machine head)Black Sabbath(paranoid)The Who(who's next), Allman Brothers(eat a peach), David Bowie(ziggy stardust), Bad Company(bad company), Jethro Tull(aqualung), Eric Clapton(561 ocean blvd), Pink Floyd(the wall), Brecker Brother(brecker), Jimmy Hendrix(electric ladyland)et et et sound like I remember it in college. I have NEVER been able to get this type of sound from digital before, it needed to be analog, and top notch analog at that. Thank god, my wait and patience seems to be paying off handsomely.

WOW, I am smilin today.
