That DR index does not reflect the substantial improvement produced. Superdetailed and more three-dimensional.

SH*T! Cannot get myself together. Since I returned from the Grimeton Radio Station and the Alexandersson Day on Sunday I sort of have lost control totally.
Going to bed too late and waking up too late, and having lost interest.

SO, what kind of music can get me back on track ... ???

Just pick up something that I at least lika a lot and that also happen to have a few songs directly connected to my physical as well as mental conditions.
There goes my fear is a constant reminder of my fobies and Pounding is the signature melody for the heart arrest I survived 10 years ago.

It's time for Doves -The Last Broadcast.

Sound quality is a little bit deficient, with distortion. Let us say it sounds like those vinyls that CD lovers hate. :eek:

Yesterday my intention to hear the great 24/192 FLAC vinyl rip was to try to appreciate depth and sound plans in my second system.

[Spanish] Plano sonoro - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

to English:

* Google Translate

* Web Translator

Yes I could appreciate depth even in the songs without acoustic instrumentation. I would have liked more depth. And I appreciated it even in the near field. In the far field it hardly increased, if it did.

What I was unable to detect, even in the far field, was the existence of the sound plans.

The quality of the audio system as a whole is important in addition to the quality of the recording, but it is clear that my amplifier has reached the limit of its performance. If I want to appreciate the sound plans I surely need at least one different amplifier.
