[QUOTE="croak, post: 1032377, member: 361"] Please stick with real music. I will never forget (nor will BJ) the Maria Callas recording played on horns in Munich in the Silba Tone room. She has been screechy on just about every HiFi I have ever heard her on and I blamed recordings and her. Not then. It showed clearly that there are two aspects. You can play recordings that sound amazing and show what is possible with a good HiFi. Reference material. Sure. But just as important is showing what happens with recordings that are musically significant if not the finest. I want the music I love to be a profound event when played on my system. I don?t want to have to learn to love music for it to be profound. Hence tests with both great better and OK material is important in evaluation. If I want dull uninspiring music my million rand HiFi investment can buy a live cover band once a week for many years. The ultimate truthful ?playback?. Just substandard musically. [/QUOTE]
