thanx for the response fourwnds.
i also have the Madeleine Peyroux Careless Love album & I like it as well. Tell me more - which track & what you heard at the audio show that 'stunned' you...
you did not offend me in any way so no apology required & good to read that you dont subscribe to the tubes vs ss dogma. best to keep it that way; makes you a better audiophile long-term....
