Has Radicalizing the Rig Led to Revolutionized Listening?

Vocals, too have changed for me, and now I tend toward less harsh, more nuanced songs. One of my great joyous discoveries in recent days has been the series of Voices Only and Voices Forte series of recordings of a cappella groups. I sang in choir in grade school, high school and college, so group vocals takes me back to some lovely times. 

I'm guessing much of this is a function of aging, but the equipment has solidified strong desire to hear it. 

As I’ve spent the past 6 months putting a system together, I’ve been listening to a lot of acoustic music in order to critically assess the each new component. But, in addition, I’ve found myself drawn in as you’ve described.

One moment where I actually gasped was when I listened to really exceptionally well recorded acoustic music. Blue Coast Records pays attention to every step of the process and some of the cuts on their samplers has provided me with critical listening benchmarks but also deeply felt experiences.

A good rig dont necessarily cost much money first, and with a good rig ANYTHING sound better, even the bad recording were more enjoyable...

Acoustic music  is almost all music anyway.....Only acoustic natural  musical instrument gives us a reference point....
