How good is your system


Can you clearly hear the whispers on Seal's Future Love Paradise?

I'm not sure if many know who that is!  . you must have really great ears however
+1 bigkidz.  I don’t agree that “resolution” as defined by most audiophiles is necessary for realistic (accurate) microdynamics which is, as bigkidz says, what makes the music exciting.  I suppose one could call it dynamic resolution, but that is not how the term is usually used.  I have heard incredibly “resolving” gear which sounds dynamically dead.  I have also heard gear that is not very “detailed” that sounds very dynamically alive; some vintage tube amplification comes to mind.
Dig Seal. Never owned any of his records. The vinyl is pricey, it was released during the nadir. Any particular CD release that’s being used as a reference for this?
I agree with @frogman - some systems that are super revealing of detail don’t sound very much like real music to me.
I think I caught Seal performing at the Grammy Awards- if I’m right, this would have been 1996? With Coolio doing the Gangster’s Paradise overlay on that great Stevie Wonder track. I was fried, had flown in directly from Amsterdam to LA- brutal flight.
Trevon Horn is an interesting producer. Lots of effects.
Happy to buy the CD if there is one that is recommended and not crushed. I don’t love it enough to buy the record at big figures. Correction: Seal II is the LP that costs big money, as far as I can tell, based on a fast search, neither the first nor second albums were even released in the US on vinyl, were they?
