When is digital going to get the soul of music?
The laser tracking unit is outsourced to be sure. It is in it's implementation where the fruits of success is heard.

The 47 Lab Flatfish transport is house made. It is a top loader rigidly supported. The sound feeding my DAC is as pure as the driven snow. I share your thought on simplicity.

Oh, sorry, Aplhifi, that is something I plan on trying, computer fed music. It is not as easy as I hoped. The USB interface provided for AN is not well liked.

Aplhifi, I have, "Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances." We just have to agree to disagree. I happen to love record playing and all it's rituals. Remastered CDs sound derived from master tapes are the best too!

Piano that sounds like a piano
Stewie, thanks for your rundown on recording differences. 
Piano that sounds like a piano
Ok, sorry to say this, but the piano recording I deem the most real goes to Jim Brickman, "No Words." To bad the score is not of the best. Nojimo , "Plays Liszt," is the best to listen too, and the recording is very good.

Tvad, I happen to have heard the very latest Pass amps and preamps and my statement stands. By the way, I have added the 47 Labs Flatfish Transport to my stables, and what an amazing addition that was. Class D is not for the timid. It takes a lot ...

Bryoncunningham - I do know what you mean. I am rather embarrassed to admit my DAC has tubes. The reason for that is tubes are notorious for going off neutrality. I have done a lot of tube rolling through the years to know they all leave their sig...
