Madeline Peyroux/dreamland

Rummy, give us the scoop on your system. See what a simple little post about a simple little cd can do? Might cost you thousands to hear Dreamland the way we all hear it. Then again, might be a very inexpensive thing. Got to be careful on the 'gon. Any post can cost us. It's the nature of this audiophoolish hobby. I've been there, done that myself. peace, warren

My Dreamland HDCD Atlantic 82946 2 has remarkably good sound. The back of the jewel box has the raised Warner W logo. Perhaps you have the unlimited Shanghai edition?

Perhaps it is my system.
Try track 6 "always a use" around 1:50-2:20 when she hits the high notes...seems distorterd to me.

Current system is
wadia 861
proceed amp
B&W N802
synergistic research Ref cabling

thx andy

Her fast attack, long E vocalizations on some of the lyrics to Always a Use does sound a little hot or harsh over my setup. Nonetheless I'd more likely blame the rig for harmonic distortion than fault the production. I'm certain a notch better preamp would knock it right out clearly without annoyance.

I'll have a new amp/speaker combo shortly and hopefully that will fix the problem. I would not of imagined my system could introduce that much distortion

thx andy
