Last evening I listened to Three+ David Grisman LP's starting with his first "The David Grisman Quinter", moving to "Dawg Music" then "Mondo Mando" and, finally, the first side of the live one with Stephane Grappelli.

Now - these albums have always sounded pretty good and it is relatively EZ to make them so. What's not so EZ is making them sound "right". They can get congested with so much "going on".

From top to bottom - everything improved and in dramatic fashion. The bass line was far easier to follow and more powerful/tuneful. Ankles were tired from all the foot tapping. Talk about "drive".

Next, the guitar - especially the lower strings, took on a roundness and palpability that I had never heard before.

You know how thin a mandolin can sound. Well - when you hear the roundness of properly reproduced notes and the body of the instrument itself - all I can say is - WOW!

Same held true for the fiddle - all traces of "edginess" gone - new "body" to the instrument.

If I sound excited - I am!! One little $40.00 experiment has taken things to a whole new level.

Thanks folks for keeping my experiment "gene" alive.
