is it better to convert it to cd when you burn them or just simply burn them in mp3 format if your HU is capable of handling mp3?

 

alot of artist have well produced cd's but if you want a good test cd go with any iasca disc, shefield labs, telarc, autosound 2000 or any other company that specializes in well produced music. i'm not saying that melatica or acdc is not a decent disc but in the industry they are nobodies first choice.

OK...that's all. Sorry for the long post.

 

Violin and piano concerto; James Ehnes (violin) and Wendy Chen (piano) combine their musical talents to bring you the symphonies of Sergei Prokofiev, on the Analekta label.

 

I can't believe no-one mentioned Joe Satriani, especially the Strange Beautiful Music cd, every track is recorded flawlessly and sounds great. wonderful music to listen to.

Violinist extroadinaire James Ehnes along with pianist Ed Lauren play the symphonies of Fritz Kreisler. The violin playing is outstanding. By the way, just in case anyone cares, James Ehnes is a Canadian boy from Brandon, Manitoba. The sound quality of this recording is incredible. The label is Analekta.

Lord of The Rings...The Two Towers. This cd was recorded in a large symphony hall with the London Symphony Orchestra and thus has a very big soundstage. Very well recorded.
