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!

Tvad,

I had never heard that one before either.

I read that somewhere on an Internet blog. Don't know if its true or not.

THe poster related this as part of a conversation with John Strohbeen and indicated that he (Strohbeen) was a regular attendee at Carnegie Hall and it was an influential reference point for how he wanted his speakers to sound.

I go to NY a couple of times a year and stay at a hotel less than 1 block from Carnegie Hall. I hate to admit I have never been inside for an event though. I'll have to make it happen next time and see what it sounds like.....

"Anyone can write anything on a blog. It doesn't make it true."

That IS true.

The Torme Classic Concert recording is a special one for sure though on the OHMs.em

At the very end of one tune, "Round Midnite", I think, Torme hits an extended high note that just seems to resonate throughout my big L shaped room room like nothing else I have ever heard on my system. The first time I heard it it startled me and I thought there was somebody actually above and behind me screaming. I seldom hear music coming from behind me with my setup in that particular room. Its an almost out of body listening experience.

Makes me wonder.......
