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


Pop the Nora Jones" Feels like home", the whole CD sounds tube like. Either too warm to too dull. Love the CD but the midrange is so big and warm so it gives me a fatigue feeling. Not quite like a blanket over the speakers but something is not quite right with the way it is recorded. My recent set up: 400Xi, Sony es cdp,Hero, 8tc,ls9 Polk. I know I need to upgrade the Ls9 and Sony cdp. How does your system response to the particular cd " Feels like home"? Thank you.

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.
Andrew, I've had similar problems with the Norah Jones cds on my audio system. On my HT, the early DVD from New Orleans concert seems to have pathological bass; either that or my system does not deal with it well.

Art, interesting enough, I dropped the " Feels like home" into my son Onkyo receiver with his Yamaha speakers, the CD sounds just fine. I enjoy NJ cds and just wish the " Feels at home" cd was little brighter or less dark as it was recoreded.
I have recently purchase a Krell KAV 250 CDP. Using the same NJ " Feels like home" track #2, it sounds quite smooth and natural. Miss NJ, my apology to you.
