What would be a song or two that you would go to to show off your system? I'd like to broaden my horizons and hear how those songs will do in my system.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Beautiful....well done by Chesky! I first heard this on one of their setup discs. Just beautiful.

    Sounds great on my Maggies.

    If you get this on Chesky Records geatest audiophile recordings on SACD you will impress anyone that listens to it, it is so far superior to the video it will shock you. Without a doubt the best single track I have ever heard period.

    Absolutely breathtaking rendition. :)

    With IE 7.0 I can only see the first 2 posts. In the second post there is an X to indicate an image is not being displayed. After seeing there were 10 posts to this thread, but I can only see 2, I tried Firefox and was able to see all posts, but I could not see the image is post 2. However, Firefox was kind enough to tell me I needed an Adobe Flash plugin, which I installed, and started watching the video.

    But, it bugs me I cannot see this thread with IE 7. This is the first time in years I have encountered a browser issue.

    This is a toughie.

    It sounds like absolute CRAP if the setup isn't up to it, because it's so thick and dynamic.

    But if your setup CAN do it, then it's a great candidate. :)

    Yeah I'm having trouble as well.

    Only way I can view it with IE, is after I hit the post reply button and scroll down, odd.
