On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Madonna - Ray of Light - CD
This is a really good test that the system is working perfectly, and it is sounding wonderful. All those sound effects are swirling around.
Just put the Superline in and waiting for it to settle (it been powered up for 5/6 days) hence this choice. The Aria was sounding the best it ever has last night. I have the Rega Aura coming tonight so lots to thing about.

Ross McHenry trio - The outsiders
Good modern jazz.
- Ross McHenry - Bass
- Matthew Sheens - Piano
- Myele Manzanza - Drums
These boys sound a bit glum, but they seem to know what they're doing. I think they could be quite big one day.

sounding very bad for me. Downloaded from bandcamp, 24/96, aif. Strange that we hear differently.
The only thing I can think of is that you don't like the effects on the guitar (flanging?) that gives it that light, 60s, early Hendrix sound. I love it.

i don’t think so. I like this tune but it lacks clarity and separation of instruments. All is a bit confused. Perhaps it’s intended like that, i don’t know. My favorite is dynamite tune, and it sounds, for me , much better. Anyway i will continue to follow her.
