I've just upgraded from an old cyrus 1 and celestion dl 8 speakers to
some monitor audio silver 7's and an exposure XXV amp.

I have a Pink triangle deck which I am now running through a Gram Amp 2.

It's fascinating to listen to all my vinyl again and hear so much more
detail. So much more detail that one can clearly hear duff recordings
revealed for what they are... It makes some records quite annoying to
listen to.

I would guess that this effect gets worse the better the system is at
extracting the information from the recording medium.

I played a flamenco guitar recording made by Philips in 1966 and the
sound is amazing because it's so unprocessed and clear.

So I guess that the more you pay for your hi-fi the less records/cd's
you end up playing....?
