Eric Clapton: "Unplugged". I get a sense of the sound bouncing off of the auditorium walls, with spaciousness, and he sounds very warm. Guitar strings are crisp, and leave the speaker, coming out boldly into the room. Very warm, and very 3 dimensional. Also very upbeat, and musical. His vocal presence is very good, yet with excellent separation. Images are very well defined, with good texture, yet not too strong. Very good placement. I really like the piano also. The pacing is adds to the overall musicality, and I have found this to be 1 of 2 of my favorite cd's.
Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list
I've been listening to some of my favorite recordings this weekend and was wondering what others on Audiogon felt were there favorites. We have all seen the Stereophile "Records to Die For", The Absolute Sounds recommended list, Music Directs' list, The Golden Ear, etc. now I'm hoping to assemble the Audiogon "Recordings To Die For". Please list your five favorite recordings, the ones you listen to over and over or play for friends. I would assume the sonic quality is excellent in that this is an audiophile site. The performance and enjoy ability should also be excellent. Please leave your top five, even if they are already chosen so we can discover the very top for the Audiogon listeners. ALSO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CRITICIZING OTHERS OPINIONS AND JUST LEAVE YOUR FAVORITES!
