"Rooster", Alice In Chains, Unplugged Album (much better recording than the original)

’Sounds of Silence’, Geoff Castellucci

Down to the Waterline - Dire Straits

Not toe tappers but. I recently Decided to resurrect my old HSU sub by ordering a new plate amp from HSU. I had purchased a replacement several years back so I decided to see if I could set up a dual sub system. After much moving things around I finally was able to eliminate the null at my listening position.

All I can say is WOW! The depth and articulation I get now far exceeds anything I have experienced going back to the early 70's when I first started in to this hobby. I honestly question why some are so adamantly against sub systems and choose to listen to polite British BBC style monitors neat. But I digress.

Recently and newly enjoyed cuts that just blow me away are:

"Orian" by Melanie MacLaren.24/192 on Amazon

"If it be your will", Jennifer Warnes, Famous Blue Raincoat, CD quality.

"Leaders", Billie Strings. 24/96 on Amazon.

The last one will literally shake things in the room and hit you in the chest.

 

 

There are multiple tracks on the MFSL Cowboy Junkies Whites Off Earth Now SACD that seem almost holographic, and there are also multiple tracks on the Analog Productions Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions SACD; it may appear that I am a fan of The Cowboy Junkies, but is more that I am a fan of those two discs.

I’d probably pick Mining For Gold and Sweet Jane from Trinity, and I just cannot narrow it down on WOEN.

I agree with @motown-l on Down To The Waterline, and would go so far as to say that the entire MFSL SACD (self titled) shines.

Just one track from a disc? That’s usually tough for me, but from Jacintha’s Fire And Rain SACD (which I think is on Groove Note and was her covering James taylor songs) I’d pick Fire And Rain and also I would pick a short instrumental On The Road Jam. Sorry, but I can never seem to narrow it down to just one track.

My latest discovery.  Sarah Smile Hall and Oates

Traci Chapman - Fast Car

Donald Fagan -Tomorrow's Girls

Grace Jones- Hurricaine Dub

Yello -Way Down

Zhu -in the morning

Lots more!
