The wifey took the kids up to visit her folks during Spring Break. Right now I've got a little Stevie Ray cranked up to very high dB's, "The Sky is Crying".....
Oh man the Emotiva amp is doing mighty fine. I can guarantee you the Denon never sounded this good at loud levels, no way, I don't care what the papers say.
Ok, the wine tastes pretty good also....
I am going to have to try Stevie again, I couldn't play alot of my Cd's on the RF83's because of the harshness, have to try some again.
Folks, if you like the Latin Jazz type thing, Poncho Sanchez stuff sounds wonderfull on the 80's, great recordings. I just ordered 3 more of his Cd's. they sound that good and I like to play along on my Djembe'
Also I picked up Dire Straights "Brothers in Arms" remastered from a reccomend here, holy moly, never heard them sound like that before!

Watching/listening to Neil Young Live at Massey Hall 1971. My wife bought this for me last night when she was out with her friends. The cd is packaged with a bonus dvd of the concert. Great sound so far

If you are into the latin/Jazz scene, go get Buena Vista Social Club CD....its great. Right now I just have my M22's and STF-3 sub and when my QS8's arrive later this week I think I need to play the DVD of it that I own.
I'm also liking recording Austin City Limits performances in HD on my Tivo and listening/watching them. I'm not a big Jewel fan, but she sounded great and Coldplay was on last week and sounded good in 2ch....cant wait to play it in 4.1 for now.

Rick, what's the recording quality like on the Neil Young live disc?
Scott, sorry for the lengthy time for my reply. Actually I've been quite busy with work and haven't had a chance to listen to the CD with the home system but it sounds extremely well in the truck (I know) ... I really like the live acoustic concert CD and expect it to sound very good whenever it gets played in the room.
I'll let you know whenever I take a listen.

Great thanks, Rick. I'm curious to hear more thoughts on it since I would think old shaky's live performance would be difficult to "capture" and make palatable.

Scott, I have listened to the cd and watched the dvd. I would rate the performance as quite enjoyable. Hearing these songs played solo/acoustically is refreshing. Neil's voice is in fine form. I think you will enjoy the cd. Cheers, Shaun

I just got done watching the Kenny Wayne Shepherd dvd 10 Days Out. I think this would be a must for any blues lover.

I've been listening to the Live at Massey Hall CD for about a week now and really like it! I've always thought early Neil Young was his best stuff anyway, and this solo live performance reinforces my belief. The quality of the recording is very nice as well, especially considering it was done in 1971. That's what gets me so ticked off about so much "junk" today. With modern day technology being what it is there is really no excuse for so many badly engineered recordings. I guess it's all about the bottom line.
Another CD I picked up recently that I really like and is a nicely detailed recording is Patty Griffin's latest, "Children Running Through." Although she's been around for some time I just "discovered" her recently and just love her stuff. Very nice acoustic sound.
