The other day I got a Cambridge DacMagic 100 to hook up to my "audiophile" redbook setup. I cued up Traffic's 1967 track Heaven Is In Your Mind off the same titles album. I am one who usually prefers mono versions over stereo versions but damn the stereo version is hot! It may sound a bit gimmicky to some but the stereo mix is greatly performed. The chorus by Steve Winwood alternates in each instance between both channels, it definitely kept me off balanced. Check out the differences below, the first instance is the mono from the "Mr. Fantasy" album, the latter is the stereo version from the "Heaven Is In Your Mind" album. Enjoy!
