Wombat, thanks for checking it out. I hear plenty of highs on Faron Young, make sure your tone controls are all neutral and no surround processing is set on. You also might want to check out "Romeo and Juliet" if you want to give another one a try. On Faron Young specifically, take a close listen to the bass line -- do you hear the individual notes of the bass line exactly the same on the two versions. Does one version spell out the bass individual bass notes better? Do you hear all the instruments on the same plane in both versions or does one version have more front to back dimension in which the instruments widen out and take on more definition. Just a couple things to look for on a recording like this one that has a lot of going on at a fast pace. This one measures close to 20dB between LEQ and peak per AudioLeak. You might want to try compressing it down to 12 dB or so if you have compression software and see if that sounds more modern and perhaps to your liking. There isn´t much seperation in this recortding at all, i really don´t know what front to back dimension you talk about. This is played back with a Slimdevices Transporter with a build in AK4396 DAC, no tone-control. It doesn´t matter to me how it measures on peaks. I listened Stevie Ray Vaughan´s - Couldn't Stand The Weather from MFSL, CD layer these days often and after that your sample here sounds mediocore at best, sorry.
