Pink Floyd Aficionados


So as we progress on our audiophile journey one of the greatest rewards is hearing something new in a recording that we've never heard before; at least it is for me.

I have heard Animals easily a hundred times since it's release.

This has to do with the Sheep track.

I placed a new to me preamp in the chain recently. In the last 20 seconds there is a ghost vocal that I had never heard. Originally it was 4 notes which were indistinguishable but clearly there. 

Even more recently I upgraded my speakers from Von Schweikert VR4 Jrs to VS VR4 SRMKIII. Now those same notes, while still indistinguishable, have expanded to what seems to be a shepherd faintly directing the flock from a distance.

Has anyone else heard these? I know there are more resolving systems than mine by a wide margin so my question is does it become even more resolved to the point of being able to make out the words?

@jasonbourne52 @stereo5 @bojack do you hear it or being facetious? I've recently upgraded to a far better streamer but now don't hear it anymore.  I'd hate to think I was losing my mind. In a certain gear lineup I heard it three times. With a different preamp I didn't hear it. When I added a much better streamer that has definitely elevated everything I don't hear the human voice notes anymore. A definite conundrum. 

You all do yourselves a favor and Don’t get the Dark Side Of The Moon Redux!  It’s beyond bad! I read a review calling it Blasphemy to the original DSOTM and I have to agree.
 

I wish someone would have warned me.

I love a mystery !  I have only 2 LP copies of Animals a US and Japanese pressing from 1977 , so I'll take a listen today to both copies .

Reading curiousjim's review of DSOTM is disappointing but since I have 3 copies including the 30th anniversary pressing being the last all analog anniversary release I won't have to be tempted to purchase the 50th .  

Disappointingly only Birds and Sheep while listening at a very high volume .

twice so I can listen to each speaker .
