Suggestions Please


I have always owned high end speakers and amps. However, I have always used my home theater AV Receiver as the pre amp. Recently I purchased an Audio Research Pre Amp and Audio Research CD player and opened my eyes to a taste of true listening pleasure.

However, gone is the days of day of bass and treable control and I am now seeing that not all recordings are created equal. Albums I loved like "Rush Signals" has no bass what so ever, and Pink Floyd "The Wall" blows me away. I was trying to figure out where my bass has gone and on Holloween, I put in one of those spooky CD's and cranked it up. The constant heart beat was clear and solid bass that blew me away. Once again leading me to re-evaluate my music collection...

So, I am on a quest to buy some new music and I am looking for suggestions in Jazz, Rock, and New Age. Dynamic bass is where my taste is, so any suggestions would make my day...I do like acoustic stuff as well...

One more:

A lot of Jim Capaldi's solo work post-Traffic is exceptional. This was an extremely talented little known, and much under appreciated solo artist.

"Electric Nights" is one of my all time favorites. The second side of this album is beautifully recorded, pop/rock perfection IMHO, if you can find it.
New age:
Kiko Matsui or Patrick O'hearns' Indigo or Metaphor

Jazz:
Fourplay...I like their older stuff better

Rock:
I think you may like Dire Straits " On every Street"
Or try the Cowboy Junkies "Cresent Moon"
Got a Bluesound Node 2i on order and that has a sub out.  will play around with it just to see.
