A SOUNDZFINE recommendation

This oddity is occasionally called out by one or two of the reviewers at Stereophile. The other night, the EmmFiveFive told me, unequivocably, why - PHENOMENAL sound. I mostly bought it for Lyle Lovett's wonderful cover of Friend of the Devil. When it first came out, being so acclimated to the Dead's originals, I found most of this album extremely off-putting. But over the years, it has grown on me, and I have become fond of (almost) all of the performances. The other night I put it on, and before I could find the >> button to start skipping to Lyle, Los Lobos' Bertha EXPLODED out of the speakers and pinned me back in my seat. I had no choice but to listen to the entire set with my jaw agape.

This CD is OOP, and its growing stature as an audiphile classic has made it hard to find at the bargain prices it once 'commanded' in the used bins (Deadheads by the thousands dumped this in the first year or so it was out). Find'm yose'f a copy...

Here is system B about 2 weeks ago:

Here is System B with its spanking new Video Display.

So what's going on on top of Speaker L????






Why it is the Ultimate Audiophile Tweek - The Keef Resonance Diffuser. It may look like a $12.95 Bobblehead to the untrained eye, but you can't see the beryllium inserts and Audi shock absorber spring which add asonishing heft, rigidity and stabililty to any speaker system. There was a matching Mick Resonance Diffuser, but I could only afford one, so Keef it was.

A couple quick shots of System A...looks like I need to dust the Marsh.
