We all have music that we love how good it sounds on our systems. Some of us like me call them reference tracks.
For me it's not that straight up, while I know the tracks very well and also know what may be missing or how I feel it should sound. How do any of us know it's right , can it be it just sounds right or great on our one system. I say this as I own many in some ways. Two sets of speakers but also a few headphone amps and a few flagship headphones.
Each has its own windows into the virtues or faults of a reference track.
A member on here dr ears has loaned me many sets of tubes to try. In my dac and Amps a real treat and ear opener. I love tube rolling and having many tubes to try is a menu to wet the palet like a fine place to eat.
But I also have to draw some new conclusions as well. A reference track now seems to have a bit of confusion added to it.
Some tracks just sound better on a given setup and adding to it tube rolling while changing things does not change what's great where. But it does add or detract new sounds or the perceived layers of the sounds.
In some cases this even moves the staging as well.
How do others conceive these thoughts is there really a right or wrong in this concept as a group ?
