Working from home today. On Fridays I'll fire up my system after lunch to play softly if appropriate for the type of work I'm doing. Writing code today so very appropriate. Usually play classical music but decided to throw on Chick Corea, "Return to Forever". Several minutes in my brain decided this music is just too involving to be background so I pulled it out and put on less distracting (for my brain) music.
Once work ended I ran to the couch and put RTF back on at normal volume. Dear God this is a great release and my WyWires system sounds awesome. (I refer to it here as my WyWires system because it is the WyWires ICs which escalated it from really good to great. Plus, they were the most recent addition to improve my system.) So clean, clear, and real. About 8 minutes into track 4 I became so overwhelmed with emotion from the great music and its great reproduction I actually teared up (don't tell my friends).
What keeps impressing me is not only do great recordings such as this sound great, but even my lesser ones, heretofore barely listenable, sound better as well. Not that crappy recordings get uncrapicized, but the unbearable digital hash gets greatly reduced to almost nil. For example, John Cipollina's, "Raven", used to be torturous on my system. But now I can listen to it and not worry about blood streaming from my ears and staining the couch.
