TELARC Vivaldi - The Four Seasons CD 80070

Any of the Chesky "Demonstration Discs"

Lots of good classical CDs from Europe, especially Germany.

So far, the best recording to show off a sound system is a song "Nasty" by Vincent Ingala.

Any of the Steven Wilson remix's (Chicago - Jethro Tull - XTC - Yes) or any of the recent remasters of The Beatles, Joni Mitchell or Pink Floyd will get you started.

Radiohead OK Computer 

I practically never listen to rock, but this one blows my mind.

While my instincts warn me against wading into such waters, I can’t resist. To come onto an "Audiophile" site in search of recommendations for recommendations of CD’s to purchase does nothing less than provide evidence that audiophiles care about the sound quality of recordings more than the music itself. My God, @dhite71, reconsider your priorities! Do you use your recordings to show off your hi-fi, or rather use your hi-fi to increase your immersion into and appreciation of the music contained in your recordings?
