Test

@rv, I hope and wish you well, always. It is wonderful when you can enjoy the music through the rig. What I find the engineers, producers and the artists do right, and this requires a very fine ear, is the ability to take each individual track (studio recordings specifically) and synchronize it all, resembling each performer playing live, together, in sync......of course this is why I listen, for the musicianship. The composition is the music, the musicianship is the expressiveness by them, of the composition. Most listeners concentrate on the "sound" of an instrument/voice, or the "space" they are in, but the only "given", is the "performance". It is all important, no doubt, but realistically imo, the recording is always the bottleneck of what we are listening to. I say this because I also use headphones some of the time (ever get a headphone rig?). Of course, the speaker / room / system set up, is crucially important. My rant is over. Enjoy! MrD.

Thank you.  I used to have a bunch of classical CDs from BMG music! I had a few Living Presence.  Prokofiev, Nutcracker suite. Compared well with the Living Stereo series.  I had forgotten about them.  I have no physical media anymore. I will look them up.

I too think my system is real good!  I've said that about 10 times!  The streamer and DAC upgrade plus switching to Qobuz was a good improvement. Enjoy the music!

All the best to you as well.  
I do have a pair of headphones. Probably not the quality of yours. 
I don’t listen to them much anymore.

. . . I remember once in the late '90s I had the house to myself for a few days and I did a rare sampling of a cannabis product and then I put on Lou Reed/Rock And Roll Animal and cranked it way up until I thought the speakers might explode as it  played through the guitar intro track to Sweet Jane and then Sweet Jane, and before Heroin had completely played through, I thought, "I've finally got it."  It was a great feeling. . . .
