So what are some of everyones favorite reference CDs for when they are trying out new components, for showing off the others or just for the enjoyment of listening to them.
My top 3 recently have been DMB - Crash, Diana Krall SACD - When I look in Your Eyes, and Noah Jones - Come Away with Me.
however I think I found a new one tonight going through some of my old Jazz CDS from my swing dancing days pulled out Count Basie's "the atomic Basie" wow this is such a great sounding CD, I know I don't have a great two channel setup but I was just blown away by how several tracks on this sounded.. so enjoyable. I was just sitting there going wow!
anyway.. this CD made my night tonight and just wanted to share.
