Frzninvt Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 It all sounds good to me, but something that shows off the left to right separation and detail is the track on Rush Moving Pictures that starts off with the chimes bouncing left to right and then kicks into a serious drum attack (YYZ?). Many of the tracks off Michael Jackson's Bad, very well recorded. Sade Diamond Life is a good one as well, Def Leppard Pyromania, Madonna The Immaculate Collection, man I could go on and on with this one. It depends on your listening tastes I suppose.

dodger Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Doctor My Eyes by Jackson Browne Toward the end it builds up, then cescendo, Jackson's nasal vocal, individual bass guitar noting and drums. If you can pick each one separately, good song. Alternative: Also Sprague Zarathustra, better known as 2001 theme, spelling may be off.

3dzapper Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I played Al Hirt's "Cotton Candy" Sunday for my 75YO father-in-law Sunday. It is his favotite album and he has worn out his copy on cheap stereos over the years. He was in heaven. The copy he heard is his Christmas present. Don't tell him it's a suprise. Best demo? Telarc's direct to disc 1812 Overture. If your TT/cart can track the cannons and your speakers can make them real without blowing up the amp. Man, you've got the system!

dtximages Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Did u say canons? Im downloading that song. Legally of course!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Something they like is a excellent suggestion. Of course that might be hard to anticpate unless you know them well. Golden oldies is not a bad second. They may have heard them on substandard systems. It is amazing what you can hear on a horn that was heretofore down in the grunge. I like Symphonic Star Trek on Telarc. Everyone has heard the music before but mostly on the little old speakers in a TV. Mr. Builder and I like Loggens & Messina. For him, it is House at Pooh Corner. For me, And be Free. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easylistener Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Mobey Dick by LED Zep. Turn up real loud feel the bass on your face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtximages Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Well I cant find the Telarc 1812 but i figured that since i started this thread i should add my opinion. Heres several: Madonna Immaculate "Vogue" Michael Jackson Hisory "Heal the World" "Come Together" Celine Dion her whole new album AWESOME and "All By Myself" "#11 on white album BASS IS INCREDIBLEEEEE Pink Floyd "...Brick in the Wall" really loud is best as always Bon Jovi "Bed of Roses" at the end of song it slams thru the back wall Alantis Morrisette "Univited" Poison "Something to believe in" great quality rec. Elton Johns ONE NIGHT ONLY live is incredible. End of Rocket Man will test the depth of ur sub. turn ur woosie subs off, this one is only for the big boys. The DVD is in DTS and FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND is the best song ever. YOU MUST BUY THIS DVD Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is absolutly amazing. I played this one in a high end store and had the guys stunned. The songs "Halleluia" and "How Great Thou Art" are the best. Britney Spears "Satisfaction" is a killer. suck it up guys, you can listen to her cuz shes hot and she makes my klipsches sound great Maria Carey "open arms" bass rolls hard and her voice is perfect for my horns Fleetwood Mac #5 on thier newest live cd. Great drums and strong kick drum Eva Cassidys version of "Bridge over Troubled water" lowest friggin bass ive heard in normal music in a while. instrumental with sax. AWSOME SONG you have to go get this one. I dont know if eva cassidy did this but thats what the file is called on imesh. someone told me that.... Ill think of some more later. All of these are must haves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKuziel Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Emerson Lake and Palmer. They do a version of Pictures at an Exhibition that is unfreekinbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Another trip to the library today (I'm addicted!). I found a whole box filled with ELP lps. As always, everything was 50 cents each. I agree they have some wonderful recordings and while I already own many of their lps, today I picked up about 10 in beautiful condition including the one mentioned above. I even bought 2 or 3 copies of their 1st lp since they were so nice. Trilogy is one of my favorite lps of all time although they didn't have any really good copies today. I have a couple good ones at home anyway. I even got a couple Keith Emerson solo lps. When Keith Emerson switches from piano to synthesizer, watch out! Great to play on the ole klipsch!

Always makes my car rattle due to the difference in volume. The song: The Endless Enigma Also, listen to the song Triliogy. Both of these are incredible. Unbeleivably talented trio!
