jazzbo Posted August 28, 2020 Report Posted August 28, 2020 Since I've been really thrilled with the sound lately I put on two recordings that have awesome soundstaging, one "natural" and one "artificial" so to speak. And man they DELIVER "realistic" depth and width and dynamics. The "natural" was Ella Fitzgerald "Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Gershwin Songbook" on Verve 3 cd, disc 1 this time, and with the "Phase" on my DAC "OUT." WOW. Then the artificial was Flying Lotus "Flamangra" which showed layered production that always draws me deep in. What I had to do firs was prove to myself there was no distortion at the listening level I was listneing on other material, because there is plenty of deliberate distortion in this musical collage.

Peter Friedman Posted August 28, 2020 Report Posted August 28, 2020 There is some top level Wardell Gray here. Quote
jazzbo Posted August 28, 2020 Report Posted August 28, 2020 Kurt Elling "Close Your Eyes" Blue Note cd An amazing debut. The title track gets me every time with a poignant memory of love. Followed by Kenny Wheeler "Gnu High" ECM cd What a band: Wheeler, Jarrett, Holland, Dehonette Quote

Justin V Posted August 28, 2020 Report Posted August 28, 2020 Any album that opens with a version of Don Pullen's 'Big Alice' is okay with me. Quote
