Exceptional recordings, from my days . . .

. . . in the trade:

Days of Future Past, 1967 . . .


. . . the MF pressing of which evinced the widest, tallest, and deepest sound-stage imaginable.

Lightfoot's If You Could Read My Mind - if you can find an original LP, you'll be astonished . . .


. . . at how deft recording engineers were back then. 

Sigi Schwab, from his album Rondo a tre: Machu Picchù.


The percussion solo that begins ~ 5' 20" is utterly amazing.  If your system is wired in correct phase, the percussionists seem to be walking in an arc behind your speakers.  If you flip the phase, they'll parade in front!

My setup are Denon AMP and Wharfedale soeakers with a SUB. A good stereo is a must.

Absolutely.

Thank you

Criticism is endless, pleasure is rarely spoken about. I am delighted that you are getting joy from music again. Kind regards, Antony

There was a nice little letter with the amp signed by you.

It’s nice the company still does that. Hope you’re doing well.

That was what I really felt
