via CD player.......... Starting the day with release from March 2017, Maciej's debut album with ECM and it is a beauty, the opening tw tracks 'Ula' and 'One For' are exactly what I needed to get started this morning. ......sweet!
Lindsey Buckingham - "Under The Skin" (2006) just seemed like the right thing to do, today in particular.
On CD:-
Tina Turner - Wildest Dreams
Playing on Compact Disc - His famous work from 1976
Fink - Distance And Time.
Playing this album, with which I'm very familiar, to try and determine whether yesterday's streamer firmware update has had any
effect on SQ.
To these ears, with this setup and this listening room, it sounds even more immersive than before ............ or do I simply have an
overactive imagination?
