Err.... :uhho:
Hi there NormMC, and welcome...
Brass is a pretty stretching sound, I know what you mean. I've been really disappointed with how some of the brass stuff I've got on vinyl sounded on my old turntable and am working to get a better TT system to handle it, and other stuff I've got of course (I'm not personally a massive brass fan). It's easy for things to sound shrill and edgy though. Hopefully someone else here might be able to help!
I'd say that if your system can reproduce brass bands well,then it must be pretty sorted! A difficult thing to reproduce well IMHO.
Any tracks that you guys can recommend I listen to? I haven't tried my DAC out on brass bands, but it seems to be worth doing so.
At least Normmc has had a more friendly response here than on another forum. I suggested to him that this was a more friendly forum . Thanks guys for not letting me down much,shian 7 you have let me down,a bit. I know brass isn't for everyone and I am not a fan myself but lets be kind. I know Normmc and he is going to bring some of his music round and I will get to hear how my kit fares with what is a very system testing genre. I will report on how it does. I remember years ago before I had good kit certain things would up set my gear, I hope my set up passes this test.

Don't worry about Mike - he just likes using that biscuit-face gif wherever and whenever he can!
Don't have any recordings myself,but I'd be interested in hearing some.I think a good recording of a brass band would be quite an experience on the right system.
Hi D,
I think Mike was just taken aback by Normmc's rather unusual first post - he certainly wouldn't have meant any disrespect. Mike's not like that :)
Anyway, welcome Normmc - you discuss whatever you want, my friend. You won't get any problems here :)
I also agree that big band music is very hard for a hi-fi system to reproduce accurately!
Marco.
