What are your "reference" CDs?

Marakanetz: I still listen to Sting, I am just disappointed at the quality of the mix. When I upgraded to my newest system, I expected to really enjoy his recordings (considering the musicians and the money available for his projects) but found that they are sonically disappointing. They sound great in my car, with typical auto stereo eq settings, but in the house they're very compressed.
