Tube Preamp, Amp or Int for holographic imaging?
Jfg,Bingo! It takes everything to get it. I was at a high end emporium where they had top of the line Thiel speakers and ARC electronics. You could reach out and touch the performers, the instruments occupied stationary positions in mid air. Some ... 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........

Best sounding Santana debut and 3rd album
Onhiwy61, I cleaned and shined my "Welcome" Santana LP in order to hear "Flora Purim". She sounded so young and fresh, I hardly recognized her. It was also nice to hear Leon Thomas on that same LP.Thanks for a good "heads up".
