And this means music that you want to listen to. I personally do not like either Diana Krall or Norah Jones. Both seem to me to be very nice looking women who can't sing. I don't see why either of them sell as many CDs as they do. Patricia Barber, in contrast, is a great singer to my ears. I haven't had much luck using full orchestral music for comparisons, but I have had success using chamber music. I probably need a bigger room and bigger speakers to make orchestras sound real. For that, I'd need a new house, and no one knows why she swallowed the fly. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
