LIstened to Beatles albums in entirety"Beatles for Sale""Help""Rubber Soul"My wife didn't make me put on Kelly and Ryan.  The recording sound of the Beatles is generally good to great.  Amazon HD.  This was played in CD(16/44.1) quality.  
Jazz for aficionados
I never really got into a lot of the "old" jazz.  I found a lot of it dissonant.  Now that I am retired I need to go back and listen some more. But here is a list of what I likePat Metheny "bright sized life"  "Letters from home"Joni Mitchell "Sha... 
Rethm Maargra Speaker: High efficiency, very easy impedance, built for SET amps.
I was hoping Charney was going to be at AXPONA and I don't see Rethm either.  I did hear a set of Tannoys that I thought sounded pretty good driven by Pathos.I also heard the Wilson Sasha/DAW driven by Audio Research and it was not the best soundi... 
Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay.

Comparison of latest DAC chips
I got the D90 hooked up.  I already had good sound stage.  This thing just adds more.  No drifting of image, more air with wall to wall sound. and at times(depending on recording) I felt like I was in a holographic sphere of sound.  I opened my ey... 
Klipsch Heresy IV - not what I was expecting
I have Crites speakers which took me a long time to get set up right.  I also added room treatment.  Now I have imaging galore!.  I have a feeling the Heresy is the same.  I heard them at a dealer powered by a Lumin integrated.  They were not as o...
