Spinning this right now on the ol' Technics SL-1700MKII... Or at least I was. Meaning Side 1 is over and I've been sitting here in silence for the past 20 minutes because I have a sleeping kitty on my lap!
Oh well. I'll get to it when I get to it. LOL

Re: What are you listening to tonight ?
As hard as this might be to believe, I am listening to this song on Spotify on the Bladelius ASK/Magico M3 combo. I'd swear I'm listening to my main Esoteric Grandioso/Halcro system, it sounds that good. And the ASK is cheaper than just the power cords which are hanging off the back of my Esoteric electronics.

New Stones album. First original material in 18 years. Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Lady Gaga all make appearances. Pretty solid. Can’t believe Mick sounds this good at 80 years old. I think Steve Jordan does Charlie proud.

Re: What are you listening to tonight ?
If I didn't know any better I'd swear I was listening to a SACD spinning in my Esoteric Grandioso transport. But it's not. It's 320 kbps Spotify. For those who scoff at lossy Spotify all I have to say about that is your hardware is letting the team down. Spotify can deliver an audiophile experience.

Re: What are you listening to tonight ?
A little while ago, I swapped my Maggies so that the tweeters are on the inside again. Last time I did this was with the Emotiva amp and Quad preamp. On some recordings, it sounded good, on others, not so much. On most recordings, the system sounded a bit narrow and congested, almost no width beyond the edge of the speakers, and treble seemed to be a bit disconnected from the rest of the sound.
However, with the Pass XP-20, Odyssey Stratos monos and Auralic Altair, it's an entirely different system with entirely different results with the tweeters on the inside. Very intimate, very intoxicating, very life-like, very involving, hence why I haven't been on the forums lately. I've just been listening, and listening, and listening some more. I haven't even been looking at gear or cables. Just listening.
