Not really a recommendation but an experience. I had a couple of the boys round to do some vehicle diagnostics, but prior to that we had coffee with music on my system.

It is always fun to watch jaws drop this way, and so I explained a little about dynamic range and played "Summer Wind" Frank Sinatra and "Manhattan" Blossom Dearie.

They couldn't believe it, the quote was, "It just makes this music seem so current".

I did explain that I am at the very bottom of the quality tree and it gets a lot better, but that was too much for them. They couldn't seem to fathom as to how things could be better.

"It's like the band are in the room" was another one.

Still, I feel better about my system today, it does give one some proper perspective.

Enjoy your music, Chris smile
