Just wondering what you SQ guys like to listen to..

to me theres nothing like the following played on a good SQ system..

Styx: Renagade, Too much time on my hands
Kansas: Carry on my wayward son
foreigner.. Genesis.. Police.. Rush..etc..
mostly songs with nice tight bass...

 

here's another post of the same thing.

JEEEZ sounds like my HS graduation...

 

Jennifer Warne, Ain't no cure.......

 

shakira - laundry service album
twisted sister - stay hungry
metallica - black

 

Enya seems to run the gamut of high to subsonic frequencies and the recordings are really clean. Evanescence has some really good dynamics as well. See if you can find the live recording of Bryan Adam's "Summer of 69"...works really well too.

 

Patricia Barber "Too Rich For My Blood"... cut 9 on "cafe blue"... SACD version

This is the song I test all systems by and can turn a non-SQ guy in to an SQ addict.

A great test of everything from dynamics, depth to transient response (drum passage at the end is something else)

 

phil collins, Feel it in the air tonight.. For some reason I cannot pass that song on the radio if I hear it, Up goes the volume no matter who is with me(thank god my kids are older, and don't live with me)

 

SRV (lenny),tracy chapman (baby can i hold you )CCR bad moon rising
i would look for so more but i need a refill on my rum and coke then i will see if i have some F Zappa

 

laughing at the twisted sister becouse i saw them in van for that album many many moons ago (god that made me feel old) lol
