Another visit to Jacques (aka Jem666) and Liesbeth
Friday night, we drove recklessly through the terrible traffic to the other side of Belgium to meet these 2 lovely people again.
To enjoy music, to enjoy food and drinks, and to enjoy each other's company. A couple of things changed since our last visit. There is a second Analog Domain M75P amplifier. (Jacques' own pics). And this lovely box sat in the space normally occupied by the MDA 1000: We started off with some of my albums that I brought along to understand better what these 3 lovely Analog Domain boxes were capable of. This Analogue Productions SACD is a terrific remaster of some of the most beautiful pieces of female voice accompanied by a piano you will encounter on this planet. It was recorded in '60, so it has some tape hiss, but magnificent Ella and also pianist Paul Smith sound so real on a good system, so intimate, that this is a good test disc. Jacques' system gloriously succeeded in conveying the emotion here. One of my favourite test discs. Also here, I could hear that this DAC must be amongst the finest. Detail, depth, presence, it was all there. We continued with Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More (try track 10, and you'll see, no feel it!), Madredeus, Gustav Leonhardt on the harpsichord. It was good! Memory is a tricky thing, but compared with our visit in November, I thought the system sounded much clearer, there was more insight. Was it the DAC? Or the addition of a second M75P? A not even so wild guess: the DAC was the most important factor.
