ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION TO ANSWER ...
Hello to all...
Hypothetical question: You are going into an audio store to listen to a Cambridge Audio CDX81 Integrated amp and a CDX CD Transport thru speakers you are familiar with (or have at home in your system). You are allowed to bring only ONE CD TO LISTEN TO, by one group and/or one artist - WHAT IS IT AND WHY?
OF COURSE - there were those who will say I don't do CDs - so in that case you can only access ONE COMPLETE ALBUM OF MUSIC BY ONE GROUP OR ARTIST.
NO SINGLE SONGS PLEASE...
NO TWO CHOICES PLEASE - NO "... IF I COULDs PLEASE... "
My Choice: BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS by Blood Sweat and Tears, 1962. Great tunes, fairly well recorded; lots of horns, drums and "odd sounds"; loud and soft levels throughout; different vocalists solo and in harmony - and lots of Toe-tappin' Music.
What would your choice be?

Concordia consort of viols, "Crye" (Metronome). https://www.amazon.com/Crye-Musical-tears-meditations-Holborne/dp/B00005QC5F Beautifully recorded, I've found that if a speaker gets the different sonorities of the different-sized viols right, then it will of everything else. |
