I have the cd. I'll give it a spin tomorrow if you want.
So what you guys heard was like the voice cracking at that section ?
Did you and Steve have your own copy and player ? About what spl ?

About 110-120 SPL Mike...

Yeah, sounds like a voice crack. Steve's copy was a copy of mine.
He had a Wadia CD player, I have my Oppo...

At that SPL are you sure the ''crack sound" wasn't from the room coming apart ! LOL

On my SPL meter (Rat Shack ) placed at 12ft from the speakers, all I could handle was a reading of 92 DB. Stuff in the room was vibrating
and I could not hear the sound that you guys heard.

The gear first test :
Oppo 203 CD player direct to Pioneer SF-850 Active Crossover.
Two Quicksilver 60wt ea. mono block tube amps to Altec Horns w/ compression drivers. (high level)
Phase Linear 700 ser.2 full comp to (mid/low ) Altec 416-8b 15'' woofers.
Phase Linear 700 ser. 2 quasi to two Sea's 13'' DQ1w subs.

The gear second test :
Same gear except switched out the tube amps to a McIntosh SS 2505 on the horns.

The 3rd test :
I set up a simple Near Field system with speakers 8ft apart, listening distance at 6ft , 88Db on the spl meter
Still could not hear the crack sound.
The gear :
Oppo 203 cd player
Nad 3020 (pre amp section only)
McIntosh 2505 Amp
Kef LS3-5A speakers

A Headphone test might be the best way to go ?
This Shpongle gives me flash backs man !

There is so much going on in that tune Lee. Not saying you guys didn't here something and I may not have known what I was
expecting to hear. At one point the room was like vibrating. Lol.
Had fun switching stuff around.
Yep good stuff on the two discs I have. It will "test your shit". !

I never heard of this group prior to joining up here. I watched one vid on youtube & I'm just not sure it's for me. Looks like a great show live. I may need some 'chemical' assistance to get into it.
I'm going to order some cd's anyhow. Mushroom season is coming soon. Seems like the vinyl is pretty scarce? The only LP I found was on amazon.

Brad, it does take some listening time to appreciate it. Just youtoobing it does not do it justice. Very well engineered recordings...

Yep, vinyl was usually a pre-order thing...
