Great audiophile recordings/albums - Page 19

I'll add a few: "Hands" (that came out recently) Dave Holland and Pepe Habichuela. Spacious and natural.
The original "Fourplay" 1991 Warner Very dynamic and pleasant studio recording
Steely Dan "Two against nature" absolutely their best and brilliantly recorded.
Dave Crusin "Discovered again" Sheffield remaster. Not as good as the original vinyl, no, but still warm and somehow very inviting. Beautiful record actually.

I have been using the ECM 180 g pressing of Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays: As Falls Wichita So Falls Wichita Falls as a reference for bass response.

At least I am on the quest to get the thunder on track 1 side 1 to resolve on my system. Not there yet.

Maybe not audiophile quality or super-dynamics. But the album The Last Resort with Trentemoller has some serious bass.

Do you have the first Fourplay album on vinyl?

The Fourplay albums (I have a few) are indeed pleasant and well done. I find that they have a characteristic sonic signature though, with the bass and some other frequencies a little exagerated. I wouldn't use those as reference recordings, although the heavy bass can - indeed - be good to run some tests and detect bass response defects of the home system.

Chris.
