What is your "evaluation cd"?

Two favorites are Lucinda William's HDCD disc "Car Wheels On a Gravel Road"-- great soundstaging on a few tracks and excellent female vocals; and JJ Cale's CD "Guitar Man" for PRT, dynamics and natural male vocals. I also agree with Thefalls re: Loreena McKennitt's "Book of Secrets"-- excellent female vocals, and tremendous percussion. Cheers. Craig

Lawrence Juber *Collection* First track is the best rendition of Little Wing I've ever heard.

Sting *Dream Of The Blue Turtles* I usually start with Be Still My Beating Heart.

Then I try some Jazz, New Age and Classical

Natalie Merchant/Tiger Lilly, Patricia Barber/cafe blue HDCD, Jacintha/Autumn Leaves XRCD2, Eagles/Hell Freezes Over XRCD2, Dire Straits/Brothers In Arms XRCD2 and Fleetwood Mac/The Dance.

Correction, Sting- Nothing Like The Sun. Derrick where do you buy your XRCDII's?

Glen, I've gotten most of my XRCD2's from Elusive Disc. The Jacintha is by FIM, the Eagles and Dire Straits are by JVC.
