I think my problem is that I listen predominantly to orchestral music.
‘Almost everything else sounds wonderful to me. It’s the sound of those massed strings that are hard to reproduce. I wouldn’t be so compulsive if I listened mainly to jazz, folk or rock. They’re no problem. .I’d be a very happy camper.
I have to suspend disbelief when I listen to an orchestra. VERY few recordings capture the true sound of an orchestra. It’s almost a vainless pursuit!
Synergy
Some months ago I upgraded my analog system extensively. My salesman recommended the Hana ML cartridge which I know is very highly thought of. I had been using the Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge which I accidentally destroyed, I sent the Virtuoso out to be retipped by SoundSmith and when I got it back tried to sell it on Audiogon and eBay. I couldn’t give it away at a ridiculous low price so I kept it. I used the Hana in my new system for months and was relatively happy until I realized I wasn’t getting great sound compared to my digital side.
So I got the bright idea of switching back to the Clearaudio Virtuoso. Voila, the system came to life after break in like never before.
Just shows how components are synergy related.
