I like my Focal test CD's, they're just fun to listen to. Anything Dire Straits or Mark Knopfler (if you can get the subs and mids to coordinate properly for the intro drum solo in Money For Nothing, you know you've got it tuned right!), Sophie Milman (aside from being gorgeous, her stuff is really well recorded), and anything by Liquid Soul.

I really like Mark Knopfler, I have a few of his discs. Ordered a few discs from Chesky (http://chesky.com/) including "the ultimate test disc", They're not that expensive. great sound!

Liquid Soul and Sophie Milman can be had from amazon.ca or anything like it. The Focal discs come from Focal...so buy some Focal? I dunno

Hey,

I'm looking to find out either the entire artist list for the IASCA 97 Cd or just the artist for Spanish Harlem.

I've listened to a few versions of that song and can't find the same one.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You want Rebecca Pidgeon's album 'The Raven'

http://www.amazon.com/Raven-Rebecca-Pidgeon/dp/B000003GGE

Great tack, but I found the rest of that disc disappointing.

what you need is this disc. it has spanish harlem.
Welcome to Chesky Records: The Premiere Audiophile Record Label

also track #22 on the 1997 iasca disc is "chuck loeb - mediteranean" (not sure about the title spelling). now that is an amazing disc! not cheap if you can find it.
