A lot of the things we sing are on a Robert Shaw CD "Amazing Grace". It is on Telarc. You can find a listing of the songs on Tower Records or Amazon websites. I sing with Tom Hall in Baltimore who was a protégé of Mr. Shaw. You can find out more... 
List of Unlabeled HDCD's
All I know is I own a few HDCD encoded disks that are on their list, and these disks do not have any mention what-so-ever on the cover or internal booklet of being HDCD.

This is sad. I sing Spirituals (among other things), yet I own none on CD. I guess when you hear and perform it live, you don't listen to it as home. Check back later and I will try to go through my music, and will try to give you a list of some o...

One woofer or a pair?
Cleaner bass. In stereo, each speaker will have its own bass "tune". One subwoofer means your bass is in mono, and has to work harder to play both tracks.That said, your budget matters also. For example; one $1500 sub is generally better than two ... 
Musical Speakers that can provide dynamics for HT
B&W Nautilus 803, 90db efficient; New $5000, Used under $4k. 
Is there any such thing as a high end receiver?
B&K, Magnum Dynalab. Also look at the Lynn Classik which has a CD player also, so the extra cost is worth it.The NAD C730b is also a 2 channel audio receiver. More at the mid-fi end but still nice. See info at:http://www.spearitsound.com/nad/C...

I guess I forgot about the CD player. The Rotel RCD-991 sells used for about half of its $1300 list price ($650). It has dual Burr Brown's best ever K grade 20 bit chips, which can stand up to any 24 bit chip; and has HDCD. Has a hint of high end ...

The Creek (or other) integrated would go well with the CDM-7NT. They are efficient 90db, so you do not need a big powerful amp. (The Creek is 85 watts/ 8ohms).

Guys, I think he is looking for an integrated amp. The A85 is an integrated and a preamp would blow his budget.To modify SDCampbell's Bryston recommendation, the Bryston B60 is also a nice integrated amp. Stereophile Class B.FYI, The Creek phono a...

$1000 to $1500 for a integrated amp that will go well with B&W speakers. For brand new you should check out the Creek 5350SE.For used the YBA Integre DTSince you read Stereophile; both of these are Class A. The Creek has more power. Both have ...
