Reference Quality Music

[boludaso]

Gents:

I have been hunting for reference quality music for a while. i have a growing list, but most are jazz, which would make my dad really happy. do any of you have anything you could contribute to my list. I dont have a sacd player, but please add to the list since it will be my next purchase.

i also want to get more since i will be "babysitting" my friends Onix Reference 3 speakers for about 2 weeks.

heres a start for anyone else.

Here's Linkwitz's list of his reference music: http://www.linkwitzlab.com/music.htm

There are some entire labels like Telarc, Chesky, Mapleshade, Mobile Fidelity, etc that specialize in high quality recordings.

Will we get a 340SE v Ref 3 comparision from you?

Audiocircle.com and Audiogon.com have a number of threads on reference music.

if i only had 340s. i'm in socal, so maybe a little audio party could be arrainged? i'd love to try.

Me and my 340SE's are game....and I have compared them before too. I say we do it.

Do you think Dave would up for having a get together at his shop for an informal test and get together? Dave?? Dave??

[curtis]

I don't think there is a good listening area at the shop.

I'd swear Dave said he built a quasi-anochaic chamber. even if not, love to see the shop and breath near some SEs.

yeah....good place to measure, but not to listen.

Hey...what's wrong with my place?

Your place? The SE's are much more portable than the Ref3's.
