Monty Alexander's version of Bob Marley's Concrete Jungle on Telarc's DSD mastered CD of the same name come to mind - but then there are just so darn many that are favorites on our kit.
Art, that cd will be playing throughout Newfoundland all season long! Fabuluous simple percussion, the pace, man, the pace. The pipes are breathtaking when they come to the front! Thanks for the reminder.
Dan, follow the lead. John Mellencamp, 'American Fool(so-so recording) great songs. 'UhHuh' recorded in 16 days at the sugar shack (priceles). 'Scarecrow'(1983) another solid recording, front to back.
If your P3 is into stones and Mellencamp (I call them the same for performance), these records will sit you back in your seat,then make you shake your head then shake your hips! American style!
OK, I have to second Joeseph Coulson's Echoes as best. But there are others, as I am still discovering them, both CD and LP. Dead Can Dance "Into the Labyrinth" comes to mind, but I think it comes down to what is your favorite song?
Some artists tracks are simply perfection while others, well they sell music lets say.
It think CD it is Roger Water's "Amused to Death" which is the best for my system while not being my favorite CD per se.
Very good, Mike. That disc is a challenge, the lp would be fabulous! I hope to hear it if I get down there.
As easy as it seems, the Eagles 'Hell Frezzes Over' dvd in pcm is S TILL a killer. Even on the el cheapo pioneer, it is fab. (Straight to the pre, no DAC)
Nuck, for me it's the third "act" of that song I really enjoy the most. The way the guitars just sream like wierd witches or possesed geese LOL it just sounds so surreal. Turn the lights off and listen to that song at a decently high level. Man talk about a trip, and I have been sober for almost 10 years now!!!!!
I have mcingtoch and aiwa spekers form top opf line...I like listin too magnus uggla sing "Va ska man ta livet av sig for nar man anda inte far hora snacket efterat/" sond cool/good on sistem with more whatts than panasonig from buget mind..
For just a wonderful HUGE presentation of music on a two channel system, try track 19 of Baroque music for brass and organ (sacd-telarc), 19 - Charpentier:Prelude from Te Deum
Your P3, the pully that is on the shaft of the motor (aka the small pully) is it plastic or a machined metal of some sort? Mine is metal, the demo at the store was plastic. They told me that is a new tweek that has filtered down from the P5.
When I bought my P3 the dealer had no stock, so they loaned me the demo unit for a few weeks with my cart till inventory arrived.
