Our 25 year old Arcam Alpha 9 integrated CD player finally died, and having already been repaired in the past, we decided it was time to update. Opted for transport with separate DAC, choosing the new Quad 3CDT paired up with the Chord Qutest. Sounds excellent, a distinct improvement on what we had.

Check this woman's transposition of a Mozart sonata (yes, that one) into different MODES ~ major LOLs -- Makes me want to listen to Copeland, clear my ears
She does two (link takes you to first one) back to back, about 1 min total. Glass of wine/ chewable = optional.

Being of a scientific bent, when I read about common chord progressions I didn't just take it as read, but decided to try them out to see why they go together.

Most make sense, they usually use some or most of the notes of the subsequent chord or they are played by a simple hand movement.

One or two however just don't seem to work, more of a car crash than harmony. Could this disc(h)ord be deliberate ... to add "spice" to the progression similar to pepper on a meal?
