Recordings of system behaviour for evaluation - Part 1

Finally! I've threatened to put up something of "better" quality on YouTube for awhile, and finally got around to it! This is something that probably more people will tune into, a combination of violin and piano, from a Decca recording with Perlman and Ashkenazy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfhJII7PNRM. This was just done, the system is in better shape than the first posted efforts, and the recording procedure was more carefully carried out.

The microphone is now in a "correct" position - centred in front of the speakers - so the sound more directly matches the ambience of the actual recording, and, of course the level of the raw capture was significantly higher - only 3dB of gain was needed to bring the peak level to within 1dB of the maximum. The playback system overall was not in a fully optimised state, I just wanted to get this recording out of the way, but it does give a decent sense of what the current status of the, A More Ambitious Upgrade (NAD based), system is.

The details of the previous Takes can be found in the blog entry, A More Ambitious Upgrade - Part 10 ...
