Norah Jones

I listened to Day Breaks last night on vinyl and also found it somewhat boring. I didn't even flip to the second side. Maybe with all the hype on this album I was expecting more. The sound quality was worse than I was expecting. I will get around to playing the entire record but I am not as excited as I was before my first listen. Maybe it will grow on me. I do like Come Away With Me.

Milpai - My current dedicated 2 channel system is completely different from the components you listed in your post and consist of:
.
CD - Ayon CD-5
Pre - NAT Symmetrical
Amps - Merrill Thor mono blocks
Speakers - Spatial M4 Turbo S
.
This system is neutral & revealing and does not hide inefficiencies in recordings. Sometimes I wish my system wasn’t so honest.  PS - The recording sounds earns a C grade in my car system.

She's well and properly advertised and very good looking, but her albums and songs all sound same.

The album is good but doesn't sound as good as Come Away with Me.
