whats the finest recorded cd you've heard?


Regardless of the music style what's the one disc that made you say wow about the recording quality. The one disc that comes to mind when you want to demo your system for someone. For me, I just heard an older cd from the rippingtons. The cd is "Let it Ripp" It's very well done!

laurie anderson "life on a string"
daniel lanois "the beauty of wynona" and "shine"
tool "10,000 days" and "lateralus"
radiohead "amnesiac"
joni mitchel "shine"

no particular order...
Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds : Luther college. Shirley Horn: You won't forget me. Eagles: Hell freezes over XRCD. The Pretenders: Isle of view, which is them unplugged. Cat Stevens: Tea for the Tillerman MFSL, I know MFSL has it's detractors, but this one sounds great to me. I would be interested in comparing it to the new 2CD deluxe version.
Jacintha - Here's to Ben (on FIM)....stunning and beautiful. For rock....Roger Waters - Amused to Death (XRCD gold)
The Usher Audio demo disc is, BY FAR, the best sounding CD I have ever heard. It is a 24-bit mastered recording. If all CD's sounded like this, I'd seriously think about ditching vinyl. Until then, vinyl rules!
