@audio-b-dog try the following two tracks for cymbals and overall great music
1. Album: The Unforgettable NHOP Trio Live; track 10: Jeg Gik Mig
2. Album: Cafe Blue by Patricia Barber; track: Nardis
Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end?
I have a good analogue front end. Not stratuspherically good but good enough for this comparison. VPI Prime Signature 21 turntable, Pass Labs XP-25 pono preamp, Pass Labs XP-30 preamp and Hovland Radia amp. It has a lovely, very involving sound. On the right recording, I just drop everythng and am drawn in to listen.
My streamer, on the other hand, is decent but not spectacular. It is better than my CD player, but it is not jaw-dropping like my analogue front-end. My question is this: does anyone have a high-end, tier-one streamer (dCS Bartok Apex, Lumin X2, or something like them) that can rival a good analogue system?

@audio-b-dog what power cord are you using on Meitner? |
@audio-b-dog I’m using Kimber PK14 Ascent. Previously had Nordost Frey 2 on it. I like Kimber better. Never bothered with the stock cord on it :) |
