Capriccio Italien by Tchaikovsky on Telarc, then Sketches of Spain on MFSL





You played the Capriccio without flipping it over to listen to the 1812?????

Come on.... no guts, no glory.  :rofl:

My Soundsmith tracks through those canons without even flinching. Now the Benz Micro that it replaced (which listed for 25% more $) jumped out of the grooves like an F-14 being launched off a carrier deck.  :roll:
Oh, I played the second side, and the end canons launched my Dynavector 20x2L into orbit.  Which Soundsmith are you using?
