Suggestions Please


I have always owned high end speakers and amps. However, I have always used my home theater AV Receiver as the pre amp. Recently I purchased an Audio Research Pre Amp and Audio Research CD player and opened my eyes to a taste of true listening pleasure.

However, gone is the days of day of bass and treable control and I am now seeing that not all recordings are created equal. Albums I loved like "Rush Signals" has no bass what so ever, and Pink Floyd "The Wall" blows me away. I was trying to figure out where my bass has gone and on Holloween, I put in one of those spooky CD's and cranked it up. The constant heart beat was clear and solid bass that blew me away. Once again leading me to re-evaluate my music collection...

So, I am on a quest to buy some new music and I am looking for suggestions in Jazz, Rock, and New Age. Dynamic bass is where my taste is, so any suggestions would make my day...I do like acoustic stuff as well...

Jennifer Warnes "The Hunter".
Eels "Beautiful Freak" "Daisies of The Galaxy".
Peter Gabriel "Last Temptation" (Soundtrack).

I'll post more later
Good Luck

For good rock that is recorded rather nicely pick up anything by Tool.
I am fond of Lateralus, but seriously anything by Tool is going to sound good.

Have fun...
