Re: Your last listen
That's the spirit! The revenge of the old prog fans! You should try the first 2 Solution albums ( 'Tommy' from Focus originated there).

Re: Your last listen
And what about ' Moving Waves' by Focus? Holland had in the 70's (and still has) a very active prog- rock community.

Re: A 60
Early NVA power amps had a DIN socket that provided power to the phono stage in the pre-amps, an external PSU was an optional upgrade. The covered hole looks to be where that socket would have been placed.
My A40 stereo amp still has the same DIN socket and I got the PSU to run my P80 preamp.

Re: Music Stranglers
Very clear, Doc, thankyou. So it comes back to personal taste / budget / room acoustics / rest of audio system.

Re: Your last listen
How is the Pi hooked up to the DAC. USB? Are you hearing jitter, a sort of veil in the signal.
24 bit uses considerably more digital bandwidth than 16, maybe the processor is having to work harder.

My Magnepan MMG speakers are actually a 'giveaway' product produced by the maker as a no-profit taster for the bigger models. Despite their low price (and the fact that they are American) they sound incredible; natural,fast, precise, with an amazing 3D soundstage. And they work just fine with an NVA...

Re: Pat Metheny - Orchestrion
If anyone's interested, here is one of the best bits from the film. An improvisation where Pat lays down several layered loops and then transfers them to the percussion-bots via MIDI, then directly programs a bass line on the Piano. And keeps it building .
