We had a Vangelis night last night... after a warm-up with Claudio Arrau's Beethoven cycle, and EMI Beethoven early quartets (to warm up the system), we started with China, (Japanese pressing with obi), then moved on the Antarctica (also Japanese pressing.)
We had a transcendental evening. As my friend said afterward (yes, a FEMALE AUDIOPHILE!), "I was listening not just with my ears as it's with every audio gear I heard so far, but listening within my body..". My other friend (yes, ANOTHER FEMALE AUDIOPHILE!) was just giggling, and she said that the images the music conjures are just so powerful...
Sorry for shouting, but I highly suspect that two female audiophiles in a session deserve a big shout out. ; ) > -- <
