    Default Reference Quality Music

    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.

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

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