You play this track through the speakers and note the frequencies that sound louder than the others. The room acoustics have to be massively changed there(helmholz&absorber). For all other values above 150 Hz, furniture and curtains (windows) will help sufficiently. The room then looks more comfortable, as if people were living in it.
It's a dangerous game putting live musicians, especially good singers, next to a stereo system. I have a healthy diet of live unamplified singing in good acoustics and it reinforces my views on the limitations of stereo systems. If I were a rich man I'd have a room/system dedicated to vocal music, probably a valve amplifier and horn speakers and all analogue sources. But I'm not.
A friend from Santa Monica visited me for the first time this afternoon. His system is MBL 101E Mk. II, Clearaudio Master Innovation/Benz Micro LP S, Aesthetix electronics. We had a nice listening session:
Symphonie Fantastique (Reference Recordings)
Witches Brew (Classic Records)
Ray Brown / Almeida – Moonlight Serenade
Tchaikovsky 1812
Musica Nuda "Eleanor Rigby"
Jim Croce (DCC Compact Classics)
Nojima Plays Liszt (Reference Recordings)
Louis Armstrong "Saint James Infirmary"
Eva Cassidy "Fields of Gold"

The man has good taste in equipment !
that would depend on the rest of the system and more importantly, the set up skills.
Oops I meant to post it in the vinyl vs analog thread
but thanks for the reply .
Another choice for pure silver in Teflon/air dielectric is Darwin Cables.

I would require exposure to Karen's body of work. Evas' range is phenomenal. She travels across pop, rock, R&B, blues and orchestral music with ease. it's not to worry. We can enjoy both.
The first selection of Fields of Gold has slightly more bite in the upper register.
Only 9 songs in the session? You don’t like the guy very much…
Are you forgetting it's me? I played "Fields of Gold" six times.

On the four classicals I played the whole side.
Ron ,
The reference recordings were Digital , so just to confirm were the others all on LP’s?
Early Reference Recordings are all analog.
100% analog, except I assume the Eva Cassidy club recording was a digital recording, unfortunately.
