"In a very recent 6 moons review, the reviewer had both the latest Bel Canto and Yredforsound on hand to compare."Bel Canto Evo 200.4 compared came out a number of years ago I believe and may not quite represent the latest and greatest from BC. Al... 
Muddy Waters'
The CDs I have that come to mind as particularly excellent recordings are the two Chess 50th Anniversary Collection "His Best" disks, 1947-56 and 1956-64.

Picked up a pair for a steal a few weeks back. I am running them in my two channel a/v system with a late 80's vintage Carver pre-amp, Triangle Titus XS monitors and a similar vintage M&K sub. I would concur with the comments in general regard... 
Muddy Waters'
I have some recent excellent remasters of old Muddy Waters stuff on redbook. These remasters amaze me in that they sound like contemporary high quality recordings, not like what I remember these legacy blues recordings sounding like for the most p...

Why not horns?
Thanks MJ, I will consider that advice.Unfortunately for horns, I am drowning in good sound everywhere at the moment already and not enough time to listen to what I already have, so I am not feeling the need to make another major investment quite ...
