This was the visit that "smacked me in the head"

Bob,
Considering the recordings that were used for this listening:
"Send in the Clowns" by Bill Henderson, Live at the Times (Jazz Planet Records/Classic Records)
”I've Got the Music in Me" by Thelma Houston, I've Got the Music in Me (Sheffield Lab 2)
"Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley, Grace
An Oscar Peterson performance at 30 ips.
this result was easily expected.
My most memorable experience of ”I've Got the Music in Me" by Thelma Houston, I've Got the Music in Me (Sheffield Lab 2) was using Soundlab A1's with an all Atmasphere MA2 MP1 setup, and several other great LPs of that period. Most of my age local friends still talk about this session with great emotion. When I asked to play a Shostakovitch symphony the system was unable to deal with the complexity and harmony of the recording, irrespective of being at pianissimo or fortissimo.
I do not pretend that a format is better than the other, IMHO now they are parallel in sound quality.
I have the Oscar Peterson MPS recordings vinyl box - perhaps I will buy one of the tapes. It would be great to get is also in DXD!
