A revelation for all

Hello music lovers:

"I just gotta tell ya"

I have for years been blessed/cursed depending on how you look at it. My mother who played second chair second violins in the Chicago Symphony, for a treat, used to take me "as a wee bairn" to Dress Rehersal. I heard glorius music, played by a glorius Orchestra, in a glorius hall. Ever since then I have been driven to hear that sound engrained into my psyche. I have never been impressed with CD sound from it's inception, compromising my hunger with Reel to Reel and vinyl, and searching for more.

So lately I have acquired a pair of Von Schweikert VR-2s and while breaking them in, I have also been blessed with a pair of Beveridge Model 3s (with the woofers removed). I have now connected one VR-2 (left) and one Beveridge 3(right) to a Sony TA-7200F power amp fed by an Adcom CD575, and I have changed my mind.

Such depth!(Bizet's Carmen by Telarc).
Such detail!(Debussy's Prelude a lapres-midi d'un faune by Telarc).
Such power! (Saint-Seans Organ Symphony Mercury living presence).
Such subtlety! Such transient responce!(Debussey's Danses Sacre et profane by Telarc) all most holographic!

I honestly did not know that was hidden in CDs. All it took was a CD treatment! Now I am almost there.

It shows in DVDs also. An overall improvement in video resolution, as well as better more believable audio.

I have a friend who compares speakers in a similar fashion :shock:
