Looking for suggestions....


I have recently burned in a new (used) pre-amp that needed new output caps replaces (long story) and having gone through that I recently upgraded my speaker cables. Was going through a lot of my classic rock/folk/jazz collection that I have ripped onto my server and running JRiver for playback. While going through tracks of a lot of different recordings I noticed that a number of the tracks seem to be fairly poorly recorded, compressed, highs rolled off.

So, to make sure I am not losing my mind (a distinct possibility) I am wondering some of your favorite recordings, ones that are recorded well. I listen to the entire range from classical to classic rock, so what have you got?  
stevea1298
Janis Ian, Breaking Silence  
Michael Ruff, Speaking in Melodies  
Tom Petty, Southern Accents
Arc of A Diver...… Steve Winwood.
Stormwatch ……. Jethro Tull
Morning Dance ….. Spyro Gyra

All very well recorded and give a good range of dynamics and soundstage.

Good luck!

Steely Dan - Aja
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
James Taylor - Hourglass 
Diana Krall - Live in Paris
