Cleanest CD recording to test with
Did I forget Muddy Waters - Folk singer Shame. 
Cleanest CD recording to test with
+1 Jamie Cullum. Discovered myself earlier this year. Listening right now to The Teskey Brothers "Half my Harvest". Sounds very promising. Try "Hard Feeling" and then "Honeymoon". Great NEW recording. Like Leon Bridges. THEY ARE STILL MAKING FANTA...

Gershman Avant Garde RX20s! Beautiful, would like to hear them sing. From a reviewer: "As I had mentioned previously, the imaging produced by the Avant Gardes is first-rate, particularly for a floorstanding speaker. They are certainly capable of p...

Thanks. I usually also travels a lot between changres each day. It's so easy and fun with Tidal and similar. And if you thought you heard it all, you havn't. The Teskey Brothers "Crying shame". Copy of Leon Bridges? Same vocal (little deeper). Sam...

Nice digging in the past. Steve Harley & the Cockney Rebel "Sebastian".

And i would like to recommend a masterwork in this or similar genre Christian Falk cd "Quel Bordelo" including the, at the time, top range of swedish musicians.

I however agree on the DR List ratings of Talking Heads :-)

This morning I also listened to som of the tracks on my large systems which are Westlake (used for "Thriller" and "Bad") and ATC 150 (used for most recordings). I actually need the 15 inch woofers of the ATC to reproduce the heavy kicks and the bo...

I don't give much for the DR. A lot of the high DR:s sounds crap. It's just one of several important factors.The OP asked for our SQ thoughts on Taylor Swifts new CD. I'm sorry she left the country music. She's talented. The CD sounds ok. It's ver...

Tidal through westlake bbsm-4 monitors with jbl subs - nearfield, superb sound.Just discovered Nancy LaMott and Janis Siegel - great jazz vocalists. Already well-known for others I suppose.CD is Voice of a woman, volume 1. "Talk to me baby" a new ... 
BEST MALE VOCAL EVER
Sinatra excluded there is only one Joe Cocker at the Fillmore East.Someone wants to hear the real pavarotti. Look for la Bohéme with pavarotti and Freni. Decca. Best opera recording ever. Not without faults but the live feeling...and the voices! 
BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER
IMHO Nancy LaMott could be there with Eva Cassidy. Talk to Me Baby.. 
In search for speakers of "natural" sound
If you like big black and heavy boxes, try to find yourself some old Westlake monitors. Most neutral and beautiful sounding I heard so far. If they were good enough for Mr. Jones and Mr. Jackson then they're good enough for us...Agree on better to... 
BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER
Like to ad:Liza Minelli - Cabaret. More power than the rest together.Mirella Freni - La Bohéme (best male to Pavarotti). Classical but you can´t oversee her just because of that...Janis Joplin - for the rawness and feeling (Me and Bobby McGee)Nina... 
Help for a Greenhorn: Devialet Phantom Reactor vs. KEF LS50 powered vs. Audio Pro Drumfire
Just read a nice and interesting review of the updated NHT C3 passive bookshelf. A pair for $1k. You will need a powerful sub for your parties though and a reasonable amplifier. A very good rythmik servo sub could be had for not too big money. Dyn...
