If anyone is a Pharoah Sanders fan, there is a reissue of Karma that's fantastic. A few minutes of a screaming sax, but mostly lyrical music with Leon Thomas singing. It was produced by Bob Thiele and mastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling. If you're interested, be careful, there are other reissues of Karma that are drek.
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?

@newton_john @macg19 @audio-b-dogI just updated my system page with all the latest components and cables |
I'm still at a loss as to how to post photos of my system and look at others' system pages. I tried Igmur (I think that's what you put) and it wanted my credit card and seemed to want to subscribe me to a newspaper. The other longer URL I got lost in. I'll have to find some time to look harder. Maybe Monday. |
@audio-b-dog thank you for the music recommendation! I started listening and will continue later. Track 1 is 32min! As to system viewing… click on a member user ID, the click Details. You will be able to see the system if they have posted one. |
