Here is an album I find quite soothing; "Sol Do Meio Dia" by Egberto Gismonti, I think I like side 2 best, but I like the rest as well; you find which side you like best.It seems that you have to be in a relaxed, receptive state of mind to enjoy t...

Schubert, why don't you post something we can hear, it's not like you can't do it, you just quit before you did it.If you can read and write a sentence, you can do it.

Dave, I don't regret not buying new speakers, but I do regret not completing room treatment. I ran out of funds before the finish line; now I have the left volume control sky high, and the right volume control about in the middle, sounds perfect.

Lesson Learned
The biggest problem is there are few high end audio salons. When they were available in my area, I went to them often and always wanted to upgrade something, but it's been a long time since I heard anything other than what I got.As much as I like...
