I know which album I'm going to start off with, but not sure which headphone.

Never enough hours in the day......

A perfect wall of fame. Tyll would love it :smiley: :beerchug: I love your cans collection.

BTW, do you have preferred headphones for specific genres? Or you just alternate through them to experience different approaches with your preferred music?

this is a new release from Octave Records (Paul McGowan -PS Audio). I'm not familiar with Carmen Sandim, but wanted to hear what a top of the line recording/mix sounded like on my rig. I wasn't disappointed. Oh my gosh! What a difference a properly recorded album sounds like. Her all original tracks are also very good in and of themselves! I'm looking forward to trying more Octave Records in the future!

Do you have any of the Chesky CDs….? ☑️☑️

In fact I do. The Chesky recordings I have were recorded in churches. Great sound, tremendous sound quality, but I think that the Octave recording is better. I think the quality of the recording is more important than your headphone rig. After a certain point in your journey, you get more bang for your incremental dollars getting audiophile recordings than incremental upgrades to your electronics.... IMMHO, YMMV, yea, all those disclaimers.

Thanks! I just usually go with whatever the latest purchase is before moving on to the next.

Cheesy ? 😳😂🤣🤣🤣 . Actually, my favourite ‘Chesky’ is “New York Reunion” by the McCoy Tyner Quartet (w/ Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone).
