I often wonder whether listening to a piece of music the second time can ever be the same as the first time. Like sex. Even the nth and n+1th time can disappoint.I just listened to "A" -the top one- and was having difficulty grasping the musical message the band was trying to convey, then I listened to "B" and the musical message -or the tune- made sense to me instantly.
I've been doing these types of A/B's as long as I can remember, 40 plus years starting in that Linn/Naim shop I once visited then actually worked at on and off for 20 or so years. ...It doesn't matter which one I heard first, I agree with those that think "A" is a bit of a mess tune wise in this particular A/B. Sure "A" may have some sort of sonic qualities that people may latch on to but I'm only interested in the tune. Give me the tune first and then you can build upon it while maintaining that fundamental quality, but once the tune is lost I immediately loose interest.I often wonder whether listening to a piece of music the second time can ever be the same as the first time.

I remember the first time I heard 'Grace' by Jeff Buckley, listened to on a very cheap and cheerful system. Not everybody's cuppa I know, but I was stunned. There are times when the timing and the music trump the quality of the system. For me, this was one of them.I often wonder whether listening to a piece of music the second time can ever be the same as the first time. Like sex. Even the nth and n+1th time can disappoint.
