Same song 4 systems

Billy Joel Piano man 1990's pressing - song Travelin' Prayer

System 1 (Wilsons, PASS, Audio Research VPI) - Big sound, clarity, imaging/wide soundstage, bass definition and room pressurization on big kick drum or bass. Sounds good all around the room. No head in vice needed No doubt reference system to me

System 2 (Nad 2400, 1600, 5000, Tangent speakers not optimal set up) - nice background music with clarity and definition all tones well defined. no real soundstage, no big bass no air.

System 3 (Rega, Manley Quads) outstanding clarity, most authentic vocal, bass well defined without pressurization. Great imaging for 1 seat, music just opens up.

System 4 (Thorens, Nad, ADS) Big sound, good imaging, jaz/bar room vocals thunderous bass but loose (20 watt amp). Lack of sparkle in the high end, great for 70's rock)
