What are you listening to this week?

The simple thread. Every week: what is actually playing on your system?

The rules are loose. A whole album, a playlist, one song on repeat, a test track you keep returning to, or the radio in the shop while you solder. All of it counts.

What makes the thread useful is a little about the gear and a little about the room. The same record sounds different on a careful system in a treated room than on a barn find in a garage, and both stories teach something. If you are mid-repair and listening through one working channel, that is a legitimate listening room too.

And if part of why you are here is that something sounds wrong and you cannot name it yet, post that too. "This record used to sound bigger" is a real symptom, and sometimes the room is the diagnosis.

I will go first: I tend to put on something with a real double bass while working on amplifiers, because if the bass sounds right I know the amp is behaving.

Your turn. What is playing, on what, and does it sound the way you want it to? If not, what would you change first?
