All,
I am a little taken away by so many replies/advice from you outlaws. What a community!
Last night, with a disappointed mind, I scanned my collections of music and DVDs and decided to try a Diana Krall live concert DVD.
Holy Mama! Could this be that same Diana with the NAD? Within minutes, I got up and rushed upstairs and brought my wife into the room. After a few minutes into the concert, both my wife and I looked at each other, mouth wide open, in total disbelief! Diana comes to life, and for the first time! We listened and listened that night, feeling for the first time that our music enjoyment went to the next level. (I have never really cared about Diana's performance since I tried them with the NAD, either as a receiver or as a pre/pro. I just felt all the raves about her are overrated. But my perception changed totally last night)
Could it be that my music gears are meant for playing Diana and the likes only? Or, could it be that the way how recordings are made makes a difference? I am going to spend this weekend trying to this out, if I could.
Thanks all and have a great weekend.
