What a FCUKIN' brilliant suggestion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrived this morning, had to wait for my Vinyl Source protractor to arrive to set it up ... Just stuck Yes 90125 on the platter ... Ok had to turn the volume up a few more notches than with the Adikt (3.0mV compared to the Adikts 6.5mv) ...

OH MY GOD :shock: :shock: :shock:

Bass taught, rythmical driving
Drums, that sound like drums
Treble soaring, and yet not bright or sibilant
Jon Andersons vocals, sublime, with clear separation from the harmony backing vocals

Sound stage opened up outside the room, instruments placed rock solid, easy to isolate a particular instrument, and yet the band is so together, and on it, so tight

Can't wait to put on Sad Old Red from Simply Red's picture book, which is normally my goto test track.

Cliché - It's like opening a window to the music. :lol: :lol:

Apparently it needs 30 hours to fully free up and work properly ... if that is the case it's going to be truly magical.

@TheMarlin ... Thank you so much for opening another level of my musical enjoyment
