I will have to look up some of his other albums on Qobuz. I was impressed with his technique, but the musical selections on this album just didn't grab me. But I was listening to it mainly as background music while I was doing other things. If this guy has the Dave seal of approval I guess I will have to go back and also give this one a more serious listen.

James Taylor "Hourglass"
I've had this (reference quality) cd for ages, but I just found that a vinyl version has been available for a few years. 
Just got my copy yesterday. 
The remaster is good and bad.  Even better vocals than the original, but the bass it too far forward.  Less soundstage depth or width. 
So, ok but not quite what I'd hoped for $40.  Still, great material, great vocals, good pressing. Win, win, draw.

Dvorak: New World Symphony - Kertesz/London Symphony Orchestra



96-24 FLAC

From the Decca Dvorak Complete Symphonies Box Set

A good performance but not the SQ of the Decca recording of the same piece that Kertesz did with the Wiener Philharmoniker, which is my benchmark for The New World.
