CD by Tony Minasian titled "Drums & Bells" (Comparing Sticks) it’s "just" a 16 bit recording, it blows away the notion that I need hi-rez in my life, red book can really sound Great ..
Listening to this for the first time as i type ....everything positive people have said is true ...WOW ..clarity ...long real decays ...placing of instruments ....its not really musical in the ordinary sense of music to listen to... whilst still being very listenable ..its all here...a realistic drum set in my living room, right now, with clashes and decays that (to borrow a phrase from John Darko) hang like Gandolph’s fireworks in the air.
I'm playing the CD on a 2005 Musical Fidelity A5 CD player (later i'm going to try it in my Marantz 6000 OSE Ki as well...both going via BenchMark DAC1 HDR as Pre amp into Cyrus Mono Xs and then Klipsch Quartets ...i can honestly say the sound has never been clearer and more impactful from any of my digital experiences previously and that this finally matches listening to some of my best vinyl recordings via TT and Tube amp into the same speakers .....next up will be Tonian Trio 'Hang Around' which is Persussion, Clarinet and Cello, which should be a much more musical listen, whilst keeping the same sense of dynamics, spacing and clarity....this is also a Tony Minasian production ...

Probably my favourite Elton John album, I think I've bought it four times in the last 45 years. Worth having for the mental sleeve art aloneOriginally Posted by Dom66

I lent my first copy to my nan, who became a bit of a fan. Silly me. She had it for months, and when I eventually went to get it back, found it was on the turntable of her radiogram. Covered with a thick carpet of dust. "It's a bit dusty, Grandma!" "Oh it just needs a bit of a wipe", and she 'dusted' it with her cardigan sleeve. If I close my eyes I can still hear the buttons on her cuff clattering across the vinyl
So I swapped it for my mum's new copy of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" as she preferred Captain Fantastic, then I went out and bought a new copy.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in
T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
Speakers: KEF Reference 3, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

I hadn't played any of his for years until we watched Rocketman a few months ago and I remembered just how good some of the early stuff is
