What are the "must have" HD Tracks albums?

Loving the remastered Nirvana Nevermind album, highly recommended.

Richard, in my opinion, this type of music doesn't show improvements with HD. The intros to Come as You Are and Lithium are spectacular. I don't know if they're better than redbook, but they sound great. However, when these songs move into power guitar and drumming, there's no way to say the HD version is better. It's just loud. In general, this music doesn't convey subtly. I'd honestly be happy with redbook, but I suppose if it was one of my faves, I'd go for the HD. I just feel the need to say this for folks who are on the fence. And, of course, IMO.

Mingles...I could not disagree more. The dynamics are night and day with the redbook version and the space between instruments/voice are much more clearly defined. Their is much more detail visible on the 24/96 version as well. I suppose some may be dependent on a systems ability to resolve these as I have only listened on the higher end of things but I would guess that most of the benefit would be distinguishable on any system.

I honestly believe any recording, be it classical, vintage jazz, metal, ambient, techno, minimal, rap, r+b or plain old rock and roll would benefit greatly in higher resolution playback. I'd love for my entire catalog to be high resolution! I have 100's of high rez albums and there is not a single one that does not sound stellar, especially when compared to the original.

I agree. I find digital now is coming into its own realm again as state-of-the-art techniques move out of the pro studio and down to the end consumer.

I've been on a hi res binge all day today. Updated some software and things are running better then ever regarding hi res. after breathing a sigh of relief for the upgrade working, I ment to listen for an hour or two just to confirm all was well. That was seven hours ago. Am still listening as I type. Have no idea when i'm gonna crash tonight but it's not gonna be early. At the risk of using a word that is WAY over used.....it sounds amazing!. Will leave it at that. If this stuff isn't a game changer for digi audio, I don't know what will be.

With streaming....I'm a pig in slop! =)

Great to hear Levy03!.......If you go to Enjoythemusic.com they indicate there is another 20% sale on now. I plan to pickup the Charlie Brown Christmas release....
