Has anyone tried switching the polarity while listening to this one? In the beginning I thought it sounded a bit funny, after switching the absolute polarity, it sounds right. So either this disc is recorded wrong, or all my other discs are recorded wrong.
You mean to say the stereo channels are out of phase?
Or is this an "absolute polarity" thing.... I'd kind of doubt either, especially the later.
Sounds awesome to me at least.

Absolute polarity. If you reverse the absolute polarity in both channels, there is a very distinguishable difference. It will be very obvious which the correct one is. On my system it seems the reverse of most CDs I use for comparisons.classd4sure said:

Yep, it's pretty good. I get e feeling there is a mix of real intruments and synthesized instruments. But I may be wrong. Going back though some old recordings, the early TAS list ones still seem very good as well.
here is another neat test.... I forgot the name of the software though... a squarewave gen.. sweep from 1Hz to 20KHz in 10 secs... on my diy ucd, i hear "whirling sound in the background".... i dunno If you got same results.. sinewave has no "sidetone" but driving it with sqaurewave does....
I will post back name of software.. I think it was TBH tone generator or TBS... ?????
note, keep amp volume at minimum...

ah ic... I have tested it ONLY with switching amp... I STILL dont know with class AB .. if it would yield same results.. 🙂

Movie soundtracks have been good recordings for years. Harry Pearson, of Absolute Sound, has a few in his "reference recording list" or whatever he calls it.
Henri Mancini: Hatari! --a John Wayne movie with a great sound track (one of the top of my head)--African themed music.
I have a few more to add:
Vangelis: Antarctica (Japanese film), need to listen to bothsides (er.. complete cd if that's your thing)
Ry Cooder: The Long Riders (Japanese import). Very folky , simple music, even if you don't like that genre.
Steve Perrry et al: Legend , a very early Tom Cruise film, but chock full of dark, forboding and "mystical" music
Brother Where are Thou?, Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminiski, Emmy Lou Harris, Gillian Welch....need not say more, BUT all of the tracks are excellent. Just 4 versions of the same song gets a little boring (but all of them are different enough)
John Williams and the Boston Pops Orchestra : Out of This World: some of the best "space" music out there..Battlestar Gallatica, Star Wars, ET, Holst....All of them emotionally moving
So many soundtracks, so little time. oh, and one of my personal favourites--an early film starring William L. Petersen(CSI), Wang Chung: To Live and Die in LA-(don't laugh they were on the cutting edge in 1985). If ya don't know the movie, it was previous to Manhunter (Red Dragon: The Pursuit of Hannibal Lecter), from 1986 - -the introduction to Hannibal the Cannibal
so many to choose from. The great thing about soundtrcaks is that they generally are very well recorded, and make musical sense. They take you somewhere--the emotional connection is strong and is intended to be that way.

Wilson Audio WCD-806/8419 "Discovery and Music For Christmas" is good organ music and goes VERY low if your speakers go that low.
The well known Jazz at the Pawn Shop is good for focus and cymbals, depth of image.
TAS 100 list is a good place to begin selection. Basically using music with instruments that you are familiar with are best. Go to as many variety of live performances as you can to experience the real thing.
