zuzu Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 These are for my wife who is my "Blessing". Many rock recordings are compressed for the masses and car radios. Don't want any. They sound horrible on our system. So great recordings please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Most of the EARLY Eric Clapton discs are Remastered.............I guess before I go any further, are you looking for Just Guitar recodings...or..are Vocals ok.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I was going to suggest Clapton Unplugged, but it's more bluesy than rock (still, a great album). What are some examples of "rock" she likes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallflower Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 zuzu-<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Do you have any tubes in your system (not sure about your AR SP 11)? If not, that can be a way to dramatically improve the sound of the distorted guitar (read: rock guitar) sound. Vinyl helps too. Regarding "well recorded".... Anything with David Gilmour on it sounds great; about as good as it gets. Interestingly I was listening to an old album of mine last night, REO Speedwagon of all bands, and their live album, "You get what you play for", is excellent. Gary Richrath's guitar sounds terrific on that recording. It's very fat/thick. Great recording, great songs with none of that pop crap they recorded in the early 80's. For great rhythm guitar (and this is on gold CD), contact Acoustic Sounds and get a copy of the Bad Company re-release. Haven't heard it, but that ought to please. Man was that a great group!! Jimmy Page is great, but unfortunately most of the recordings of his work, aren't so great IMO. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuzu Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 The SP 11 is a tube only preamp. Prefer no or limited vocals. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
