What's your system response on " Feels like home"

Rotarius, you are pretty sharp. (1)Yes, I do not like the " vocal too up front" and heavy bass. Just my own preference. The "Love scenes" by DK is my personal reference CD for testing different gears for vocal. (2)Don't know yet. Tried Rogue ( magnum series/mono blks) but they don't sound like tubes. Tried some CJ back in the 80s with 250w CJ SS and their line stage tubes and such a coloration added to my SL3 ML.So far, very sacry experience to return opened gears, paid 15 or more restocking fees and still made the Audio salon unhappy.

Warrenh, this thread is about "Feels Like Home". It has not been released as an SACD, only her first was (and supposedly mixed from a 16/44 source, etc). Anyway, I like the warmth of the newest release, but then my system tends slightly toward the cooler side.

Interesting comments.I find both Norah Jones CDs sound a bit dull and hazy-sort of like a classic NAD amplifier.Not unpleasant but a bit contrived.

Thanks Ted. Seems you're the only one who caught my blunder. I get the two confused. Why hasn't Feels Like Home come out in sacd?

Good question. It is well recorded (maybe not mastered to everyone's liking but recorded well, it seems) and would make a superb SACD, plus her first came out within months of its' redbook release. Dunno....Blue Note has dropped the ball on many hirez releases. I've spoken with them many times about the great Cassandra Wilson and her Miles Davis tribute "Travelling Miles". I pointed out to them that the DVD-A release (DTS/EMI/Blue Note release on DVD-Audio) has the right front and rear channels swapped on the DVD-Audio layer. I now have four (4) frickin copies that they've sent me, each one they've said was corrected. Each one was the same incorrect mix as the orginal. They've even given me two addtl DTS catalog picks for my inconvenience, but still no corrected copy. BTW, the DTS layer is correct; always has been.
