Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes is a nice mix but try Midnight Oil Earth Sun and Moon or INXSFor something recent check out Booker T and the Drive by Truckers with Neil Young - Potato Hole - Pound it Out.The latest ACDC - Black Ice is good too.

fostex vs accuton - same speed & accuracy ?
You could get something like a Zu Druid - you know a simple designed based upon a base guitar woofer with a whizzer cone to get you the highs. Simple but effective up to about 12 Khz (rolls of around 8 Khz but still some good stiff up to 12 Khz). ... 
Soffit construction, worthwhile?

I have both her recent albums and I don't care for country. Like other superstars she has the uncanny ability to project emotion in her voice. You go Girl!

Your First Vinyl Album.
Ken Dodd and the Diddymen.I played it for hours and hours (I was only 5).
