Can't have too much Reggae.
Try Peter Rowan's "Reggaebilly" album. A wonderful fusion of New Grass and Reggae.

You have good taste!

Seriously, I'm looking to pick up a MFSL version of Meddle and hope to bring it by your shop one day soon to audition speakers.

I have several other cuts I use as reference, but "Echoes" will be my litmus test!

There is a renowned tribute band in Los Angeles area that, on rare occasions, will play Echoes start to finish. It is really something special Live...

Great video, thanks for sharing. I've seen a few PF Tribute bands, but somehow missed these guys. I'll have to keep my eyes open for them!

"Tin Pan Alley" from Stevie Ray Vaughan's Couldn't Stand the Weather. 1984 CD release.

9 minutes of dynamic, subtle, soulful guitar bliss. Dynamics to die for (18 on dynamic range database DR scale).

I just hooked up my first universal disc player, a Marantz UD5007, so I've been listening to all those SACDs I hoarded over the past year until I could listen to them properly. I know there are lots of debates about DSD vs. PCM, etc., and I'm not sophisticated enough to take sides, but I can say that these discs have been absolutely blowing me away the past few days--I expected subtle improvements, but the quality is so absurdly better than redbook CDs I'm literally shocked. Here's my weekend SACD playlist:

Oasis - What's the Story, Morning Glory?
Billy Cobham - Spectrum
Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
The Doors - Greatest Hits
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
The Eagles - Hotel California

I've never heard anything even remotely approaching the detail, depth, and presence of SACD...I don't want to compare to DVD-A or Blu-Ray because that would be beyond me. I'm speaking strictly of redbook layer vs. SACD layer. Absolutely amazing. Rumours was the first I put on and from the first song I was hearing breaths, nuances, and tonal variations that I never knew where there--I literally can't believe the difference.

I know this is more of a music thread, but I guess I'm just so surprised by my first experiencing hearing SACD the way it was meant to be, instead of just the hybrid redbook layer, that I'm still getting over it.
