Thanks to you both. I listen to female vocals and classic Jazz...mainly acoustic and ladies that are in that classic Jazz and Standards vein. That said I do have some rock and quite a bit of classical.
I lean towards the neutral side of sound. Gear I have had may help give you where I have come from:
ARC, Levinson, Conrad-Johnson, Classe, Bryston, VAC, BAT, and others,
Thiel, Magnepan, Martin Logan, Dahlquist, Advent, and several British monitors...
Most of what I have liked in cables has much to do with David Salz...Wireworld.
Tables and CD playeers have included Linn, Thorens and much more. CD wise, I have had most of what the best of Sony, Resolution Audio, Linn, Classe, ARC and others have had to offer.
I do use live music as a bit of a standard, although knowing that most halls are very over soft and a bit user friendly compared to studio recordings. Let alone where you sit is rarely ideal.
Don't mean to go on, but where I come from may help in your replies.
By the way, the changes on the AudiogoN site suck big time.
