1. My system, with the Moscode in it, seems to achieve greater soundstage width. In Ryan Adams' "Mockingbird," a tambourine rattles away far in the righthand corner of my room. It startles and impresses me every time.
2. In the Foo Fighters' "On the Mend," the highs seem much more alive; almost painfully beautiful. And the echo-y effect on Dave Grohl's voice is warm, well-controlled, and subtle but absolutely distinct.
3. There are incredibly tight and lifelike bass and drum sounds on Beth Orton's "Conceived."
4. I first noticed a kind of trickling, warbling, running water sound that plays throughout the Wood Brothers' "That's What Angels Can Do" when I listened through the Musical Fidelity A3.5 integrated and CD player. I enjoyed this surprise. Through the Moscode, however, this pleasant warbling sound is somewhat overshadowed by tape hiss. Not a big deal.
5. Finally, with the Moscode in the system, I noticed I could actually hear the sound of the CD player reading and spinning discs at the very beginning of an album. It sounds like aliens in outerspace. I realize that this is not very musical, but I just wanted to mention it. It's kind of cool, in a weird audiophile sort of way, I suppose.
