    I need to write some more down, but I enjoy listening to this 4 as part of my tester list now:

    Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings
    Nobody's Baby

    Frank Sinatra
    Fly Me To The Moon

    Maria Mena
    I Was Made for Loving You

    Stevie Wonder
    Living For The City

    The 1st three are relatively simple soundstages, with defined pieces in their place.

    #4 is an odd mix (to me). I hear Steve's mixes as tuned for his ear, and that makes me wonder if he hears differently because of his blindness. They seem... lower... tuned lower, I guess. But the sounds that reach out to the edges, and the little vignette in the middle, very nice.

    I don't have SDA's anymore but this song should be presented very well on them. Play, "The Peppery man" by Natalie Merchant.

    If you have not heard this selection before? I can say with very high confidence you will like it very much. SDA's should do this song justice.

    If you're familiar with the other versions, these are an SDA treat.

    I'm not a big Dave Mathews fan, but 'Stay' sounds amazing. That guy did a great job producing a lot of his songs. Some bands/songs that I really like, sound like **** which is a bummer.

    Not sure if this song has been mentioned, but I heard it on the radio, downloaded and holy crap. Method of modern love was meant for sda speakers. They did an unreal job mixing this song. Im not a huge Hall and Oates fan, but I listened to this song 3 times in a row. If you can't hear what I hear, then you need to readjust your speakers, cause this song is made for sda.

    I just picked up the Fear Innoculum Deluxe set for the 1.2tls after having it on Hi-Rez download for the Vaders. Unreal Immersion.

    Nope! A bad recording sounds like fecal matter. Some of my CD's or SACD's that were not very good recordings in the first place, I have a very hard time listening to them on my fully modded 2.3tl's.

    This is one CD that y'all should grab if you ever come across it. DCC Jazz and another Hoffman gem. Great on the SDAs.
