To this day, still may favourite recorded set!
ATB from George
Perhaps it be given the honor of first played when the amp arrives.

Dear Jeff,

Following your suggestion the first music through the new set-up was the Concerto in A Minor, BWV 1041, followed by The "Dorishe" Prelude and Fugue, and then the Cantata 147.

I once did a demonstration at home with a NAP 300, and that is the kind of balance the new amp brings. It hardly sounds mono as such. but then good mono never did sound like that pinched narrow sound that is expected. Rather it takes me into the recording studio, which is a rare thing from replay.

Very gratifying. I am so pleased.

ATB from George

Early US ABC pressing. The sheer amount of detail a clean with the Audiodesk reveals is amazing. Hearing things from this record I've never heard before...

Their finest hour IMHO. Great stuff.
