Good call on the QSound discs for awesome staging! I looked at their list of supported albums and the only one on the list I owned is Madona's Immaculate Collection (don't ask). Plopped it into the CDP and WOW, it has incredibly wide & deep sound staging. I'm not that familiar with the original releases on this compilation (really, I'm not), so I can't comment on what it does to the SQ. But it sounds like Madona to me - highly stylized and overly processed - now with wall to wall and ceiling to floor sound. I say give Qsound a try. It's a fun alternative to "normal" stereo - kind of a poor mans multichannel.

On a personal note, I had great fun dancing with my girls in the immerse pulsating ear buzzing sound stage music. YMMV :)

agree with timrhu on the laurie anderson life on a string suggestion. my most played piece of music! this is not for everone but tool 10000 days is also a tremendous recording and during wings for marie prt 1 and 2 the thunder and subtle vocal comes from all over...much from behind and above. i happen to be a fan as well but it is outstanding. lateralus, the previous tool recording is also outstanding.
danny cary's drums truly show off my wattpuppy's skills!
