What is it.........

We are going off on tangent....
Its not about Ferraris or Sonus Fabers etc ....
It an old classic car radio that produces a haunting piece of music in a way no high end system can.  Yes we can include enviroment...but its that "X" factor in the sound that is just so complete and satisfying from that old car radio and what was coming thru it.

OK, have it your way. It was aliens from outer space. 👽

Duly noted .  Cheers!  Lol

@douglas_schroeder +1 but I must remain in the camp of music first, without it, you don't need the system building. Enjoy the music

Less to distract you on an am radio. You mostly just hear the beat and maybe the vocals. No details to distract you from that catchy pop tune. A lot of pop stuff these days is little more than that anyway in order to serve up a least common denominator product that might appeal to ever more diverse listeners.

On a related note one of my favorite things to always check out is well crafted oldie tunes one probably never heard reproduced well back in the day. Nowadays on my good hifi it’s yowsa!

I streamed the old tune “Early in the Morning” by Vanity Fare on my setup the other day off Spotify and even there at less than CD quality Resolution I was amazed at all I had never heard in that tune before like the harpsichord that sounds like something from Chandos or some other high quality classical recording label.
