Does your pet listen to your system?
Of all my pets, only the boxer is really into music. When I start listening, she'll sit upright, in the sweetspot and stare straight ahead, ears twitching occasionally when things move about the soundstage.

Simao, I may be guilty to listening with my emotions, since Tea for the Tillerman (1970) was released when I was a teen in the turbulent late 60's and early 70's. I'll give it a critical listen soon and tell you how the recording quality is.

Whats playing on your system today?
Probably old hat for many of you, but I  listened to "The rockin 1000" on YouTube tonight. Surprisingly good recordings of 1000 musicians playing Rock in an arena. Sounds like a terrible idea, I know, but they pull it off well and it's fun and ins... 
"Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial
