Yes. Knopfler’s Ragpicker’s Dream is so well recorded — achingly real. Other go to songs are Mary Chapin Carpenter’s Come On Come On and KD Land singing Helpless on Songs of the 49th Parallel.
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS
I am serious. I work VERY hard to have the best system I can. I have made many upgrades and am more than happy with my equipment. I stream 100% of the time, mostly form Qobuz. My digital front end is highly optimized. But when I want my system to sound AMAZING?
I play Mark Knopfler or my favorite Dire Straits. Seriously. It is recorded so exceptionally well, and seems to have harmonics which just please the ear and soul. I often think it sounds a bit 'tube like', as my system is all solid state. There are just no offending sounds, and never sibilance. I could list songs, but it would be easier to just list the one not to play ('Money for Nothing').

I bought a Pioneer RT-707 and am having it restored at J-Coder It’s supposed to be a good sounding entry level R2R Moving up from there are the Technics 1500 or 1720 decks |
