Thanks. They must have uprated the BPS since I last tried a few years back ... I must try them again.
I'm clearly not an audiophile. I once bought a recording of a Shostakovich symphony (12?) which was highly rated. Indeed it was an amazing performance as the conductor and orchestra must each have snorted a few kilos of speed beforehand. But it had been recorded during the Leningrad Asthmatics Society AGM, and the constant background sounds of hordes of Russians suffering a lingering death from airway constriction destroyed the quiet passages.
