What is the most analytical sounding amplifier that you have heard?

To reveal all the details doesn’t have to mean the sound is sterile, etched or irritating. It means just what it says. Details have life just as much as larger matters and occupy space in the same manner.

Details have warmth and body but on a lessor scale.That’s all. Details contribute to the overall sound of the music, just like in real life. When I hear details properly portrayed, I get a more complete picture or mental image of the event, which is what this hobby means to me: to recreate the event as well as possible.

Hearing the leading edge of something in larger proportion than it should be is not detail. Nor are the sounds that irritate. That indicates something wrong with your system and not the music.

I will try again. I am asking for clarification about Jacintha’s Autumn Leaves album referenced by millercarbon above. Could anyone explain what happened to his record?

"Recorded and mastered exclusively on Mark Levinson electronics. So there you go."

What edition is that?

None of the LPs/CDs on discogs.com mentions Mark Levinson electronics despite going into details about microphones, tape, and cables, etc. Heck, it even mentions who did singer's hair and make-up.

In fact, that particular album was recorded on Ampex ATR-100 recorder and seems to be mastered by Bernie Grundman on Sony DSD machine.

Does millercarbon have one-of-a kind copy recorded just for him?

Jacintha – Autumn Leaves -The Songs Of Johnny Mercer (1998, 180g, Vinyl) - Discogs

That's very similar to what's accredited in her Jacintha Is Her Name CD.

i do recall when hearing the early jacinta cd’s way back then that the sound was definitely crystal clear but quite lean and lacking in natural reverb...
