Thanks Mr Bellow. That was a nice description, and a lofty goal to strive toward. I'm just resurfacing here for a moment to tell you that I have rediscovered The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's last night! I've been listening to Sgt Pepper since I was 10 years old, but I've never heard it for real until last night. I was listening to it, beginning to end, with a friend, and we were both absolutely mesmerized. Like you've said, the speakers disappeared, the walls disappeared. I had no idea it's such a sonically rich album. It is now a true revelation to listen to this record (arguably the greatest album ever made, Dark Side Of The Moon notwithstanding). Technical note: I was listening to the 24 bit version of Sgt. Pepper, which, in my view, beats the 16 bit version. No clue as to why, but with TT3.0 on, the greater bit depth shows. It's almost like switching from 65,000 colors to the palette containing 16 million colors. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
