After a bit of excitement at the border (US / Canada) my Overdrive SE finally made it back to Canada with Steve's upgrade last Friday. I played music practically non-stop over the weekend and noted that everything seems 'clearer' after the upgrade. One of my favourite test tracks is Paul Simon's Graceland (24/96 of the 25th Anniversary edition). It has a good mix of percussion, drums, bass and guitar during the intro. Everything is clearly plated, and the percussion 'rings' after each thwack to a very realistic decay. Mercury Living Presence recordings (from last years box set) had, well more presence! Everything from blues to jazz to Wilco feel like I'm hearing the music with new glasses. So far, a winner, for the price of the upgrade. Now just waiting for the Final Drive I've ordered to go to another level . . .
