The music that i shall use to test my Hugo 2

[514077]

vocal production on this is wonderful through H2...

Hey guys (and girls), would it be too much to ask that you actually write the words rather than IMG'ing everything? That would save me the trouble and irritation of everyone else on this thread of asking what the pic was. I like discovering new music, too. "Use your words, Mini Me," (Dr. Evil)
Thanks guys.

Yes it is. I bought the 176.4kb/s version from HDTracks.

Thanks for linking me here and I also agree with you about the Miracuolus Methamorphoses. It is but one, of quite a few really good albums from Reference Recordings that belong in any test music collection when evaluating HIFI equipment.

Discovered this hybrid SACD this week.
It sounds very good through the Mojo, so I expect the Hugo 2 will sound even better.

It seems to be sold out as SACD .But it is available directly from the LSO site as 24/96 download for 6.99.

The sister of one of my friends was played flute on the recording, which was my initial interest in listening to the recording.

I had an enjoyable evening using Hugo 2 with the new Sgt. Pepper hi res release, and the H2 settings.

I found that the "Dave" filter continues to be my favorite, yet I agree with others regarding the use of x-feed. The first x-feed filter did not "kill off" the soundstage, but actually gave depth to the instruments, particular the subtle piano.

@musickid
You are a violin player
I have just been listening to this album with Hugo 2.
The original recordings from the 1940s are entertaining to listen to, but do suffer from the limits of the recording technology that was available at the time.
In contrast, this modern album of covers, does sound like a very well recorded violin to me, so I thought that maybe it would interest you.

I played whilst i was young. i could have progressed to the CBSO city of birmingham symphony orchestra had things progressed that way. its still in me though. listening to the rosenburg trio now. cheers mk

having listened to the album on roon where i've discovered tim kliphuis track 4 si tu savais really stood out. i'm now looking forward to listening to tim with the paulus shafer trio-rock django looks like gypsy fused type jazz. i only sat down to check my emails and look what i discovered...

I now wish that I had explored the CBSO whilst Simon Rattle was involved.
I spent many years living in Halesowen, then studying at Birmingham University, so your references to Birmingham do bring back happy memories.

I was at the university 1978 - 81. This year is my 40th anniversary of starting uni, it seems so long ago, but it provided the seedcorn for knowledge, ideas and lifelong learning, that I still use today.
