Days of the New's very first and second, The white sripes's 'the white blood cells", any 'Rage against the machine', 'The Sixteen horsepower's first two (at least thoes I have)All of the above have 'blackness' (that Sean talks about in his post)be... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Ditto for Dunlavy SC-5. They are in my system for life. 
Straight Wire Question
I use serenade from pre-amp to amp along with MIT proline form CD to pre-amp and the combo is the best I ever had. 
Ear Candy: Most startling recordings.
One of my recent purchase : White blood cells by the white stripes. Great classic rock sound, lyrics, singing and recording for an indy label- for 8.99$ at Tower? a steal 
tough sounds to reproduce ???
Abstract7, after some time I was able to dig up the Ocean sound disc that does justice.(close) The disc is 'the astral voyage' by Kitaro. Track 1 has the sound for first full minute and subsequently. Rightfully the track is called 'by the seaside'... 
Techno Anyone?
Tim, It is "in sides" not "both sides".My bad.Their new " altogether" is much better than the "middle of nowhere" and it's a double disc album. Their older work also good (some track on par with 'snivi.." and insides..) but most lean toward the mo... 
tough sounds to reproduce ???
Subaruguru, I guess I need to listen live piano more often to confirm what you are saying about the upper registers. May be I have to re-listen some very well recorded piano works (ref recordings/mapleshade). Thanks for your elaborate reply. 
Techno Anyone?
Yea, I and listened to the ' surrender' by chemical brothers after probably more than year. Better than the 'come with us" which is very good. Orbital I always enjoy, perticulartly the "snivilsation". " bothsides now " is also exceptional. Recentl... 
tough sounds to reproduce ???
To add to Tubegroovers's comment , the upper registers of the piano is tough to reproduce since mostly it lacks BODY and WEIGHT of the real thing. Real sound does not just float! Lower ones are the ones could be produced convincingly in a full ran...

tough sounds to reproduce ???
Sean, Actually the 'Days of the New"'s first is a reference quality disc. The 2nd and latest(even though it is HDCD) us not of same quality. Their music is very good. (2nd is the best)Although I don't remember which one has a thunder sound you're ... 
tough sounds to reproduce ???
I have to diagree with Abstract7. An Ocean I have heard reproduced 'faithfully' at times in my system. But Clapping and thunder I agree is really hard to reproduce to its full relization. People in crowd or a a party could be done. Certain pessage... 
Do i get the old or new Classe amps?
I have two Classe CA-400'S and love them very much. True big diffrence between Ca-200 and Ca-400 in the same system. 301's I have heard at the dealer and found to be hi-fi IN DIFFERENT SYSTEM AT THE DEALER. I am not saying it is due to 301 or rote...
