I appreciate all of your responses thus far. I'm beginning to think the weakest link is my speakers. I recently went from a solid state amp to a pp tube amp that opened the soundstage and provides a tonality in ways that it will be very hard to go back to a SS amp. However, I think my Polk LSI15s are limiting me in achieving distinct separation of voices in a chorus. My front end consist of an Oppo with a Monarchy MN24 DAC, which is a very organic. I alternate between the internal Preamp in the Monarchy and a passive preamp. I dont think the electronics and source are the culprits??
Which component is most responsible?
I anticipate this question will garner varied opinions, which I look forward to reading: Which component(s) is most responsible for hearing clear, distinct separation of voices in a chorus or when listening to multiple background vocals, as I often hear audiophile speak of.
Thanks.
Thanks.
