The Blue Nile: Peace at Last

Gave The Blue Nile's Peace at Last another spin. This was one of the very first CDs that was swapped with PC in our over-a-decade long exchange project. I'm still very fond of that album. It has always been a recording to reckon with but with the PPP now in place it sounds just jaw-droppingly awesome. I could go on about the bass that has more slam and a soundstage that has widened and deepened and the voices and instruments that sound more timbrally authentic. But the bottom line is that it is just very immersive and moving to listen to music where everything 'fits' and that just sounds 'right'.  In progressively upgrading the hifi set, the improvements in sound become ever more subtle but the pleasure one derives from them seem to increase in an inversely proportional way.
