Yes! I’m a big fan of two maligned ‘70s genres: prog and funk. So Yes is on the list. I’m not sure whether I’ll do The Yes Album, Fragile, or Close to the Edge, though. 

Definitely one of those. Their 3 best. 

Main listening (small home office):

Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments.

Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three .

Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup.
Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. 

All absolute statements about audio are false :)

It’s going to be the CSN “couch” album. Just interviewed the great Bill Halverson, the album’s eneginner, yesterday.

Cool, I have several digital versions of this and the original vinyl. 
My original exposure to it was on an 8 track tape in the car of a friends older brother. It was basically the only thing he played anytime he drove us anywhere. I think I heard it hundreds of times that way....And I still like it. 

I'm sort of assuming you won't be including that 8 Track version in your  survey. :)

Looking around to see if I could find some of the versions mentioned here.

Saw references to a "UHD 24-88" version. Is this a legit version, or just some online creation by fans?
