Not going to ride this to death, but started out Heart ( Bad Animals) moved on to Dire Straits (Brother in Arms) prolly my favorite album and then threw in the big boy. 1812 conducted by Kunzel on Telarc with digital cannons. You know the one with the very stern warning. The IIIbs came into their own. I took it out of rotation because the 4bs showed slight signs of strain with the cannons. Its back in now. I have heard it louder but with much less sonic fidelity. I truly enjoyed it while watching for any indication of clipping (visual or to my ears.) That big bass drum Telarc always rolled out never sounded better. Oh welll I'll let this die off now. I've got better things to do

Pictures at a Exhibition? Night on Bald Mountain? Keith Jarret?

Got to stretch out the IIIb's a little tonight with a new to me amp (Forte Model 6) in place of the Adcom GFA-555II. Started out with a track from a Spyro Gyra SACD, then Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, followed by DSOTM SACD, and finally a little Beethoven piano concerto (also on SACD). Initial impressions are good, but more listening is needed before making any valid judgements. The Forte does run hot, however :scratch2:.

I've got Norah Jones playing right now. Sounds amazing for some reason. My system never sounded this good before.

Got the Crescendo 3006's ready to roll after a walk with the family. Not sure what I'll put on, but it will be something sitting in a plastic thrift bag.

First up was Journey-Escape. After the first song I quickly pulled it off and threw on a Blue Note of Gene Harris-Tone Tantrum, much better. Sound is superb.

Hey there Andrew.
The question that you are asking may best be served in the Turntables and Tape Forum. There has been much discussion there about CD vs Vinyl already, and doing some research there may provide a lot of info for you. Your question as a new post there would probably get more response. See what happens here though I quess :yes:
Now, could it be that the Kappa's and your new system are changing the way you hear Todd's music compared to your old system ? To say the CD's media/mastering are horrible, you would have to have the vinyl version side by side for comparison on the same electronics.
When I got my Q2's, I was hearing all my old music in a different way, some of it not so good :sigh:

Hey there backatcha kencat..
I wasnt sure where to post my ? Ill send it over to the other forum ..
I tend to not even bother looking other than on this here forum Its always so interesting !!! OH THE KNOWLEDGE AND PASSION !!!!
As you mention there is definatly the aspect of listening to presumably ultra familiar music.. . I am constantly struck by how the kappas reveal details that were previously MIA .. But they also reveal ill and theres some agonizing reapraisal involved in that as well ..Things are not always what they seem..
Ill await responses..
