Just dug out and dusted down Supertramp cd-Breakfast in America. Superb.

My Captain &Tennille record sounds fantastic on my new system.
"Love Will Keep Us Together" has never sounded SOOO good,the Captain's organ is IN the room and Tennille(gotta luv'er) is RIGHT THERE.
Makes it all worth it.

Jennifer Warnes "The Hunter" is probably the nicest recording I have. I guess I'll have to check out "Famous Blue Raincoat"!
