alienpi Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I've got a pretty good audiophile system 2.1 (bookshelf speakers + sub) and a few of the world's best headphone systems. I like albums that keep your attention, are somewhat cohesive from beginning to end, and are well produced (dynamics, good imaging, etc...). I've found a couple albums that I really enjoy lately, and figured I'd mention these albums, and maybe get some ideas on my next albums to pick up. Oh yeah, I have a CD player (that up samples). Avenged Sevenfold: The Stage I just picked this up and was very impressed. I've seen these guys in concert and it's amazing. Looking forward to getting to another concert based on this album. It was a surprise release, but reviews are very positive, and the theme is artificial intelligence, space, and such. It's 74 minutes, but I think I listened to it 3 times in a row. It really is that good. Following is some others I need to expand on later.

alienpi Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Here's the track 11 on the A7X album. I think it's a good example from the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 It only sounds good if it's recorded reel to reel and then finished on vinyl. No digital b.s. That hides the warmth. /hipster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I can honestly say I haven't purchased anything recorded in the last 5 years. I'm not happy with the sound quality. I have been buying a ton of older stuff though as the recording quality and the production value seems better to me. Frack I'm getting old.

Helmutt Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I've been a Devin Townsend fan since the 90s with Strapping Young Lad, but it may be a bit much for your ears if you don't enjoy extreme metal.....but check it out anyway, amazing stuff in it's day - and the band has a virtually timeless sound. He's since done a lot of more rock oriented stuff with the Devin Townsend band/project - you may dig on it more as the vox is less abusive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienpi Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I like what I've heard of the Devin Townsend Project stuff. I'm going to have to see if I can find a CD. For a while I was just getting CDs based on the producer. I like what Nigel Godrich did for Radiohead's Ok Computer and Beck's The Information.

alienpi Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I've been considering upgrading (with bonus) my bookshelf speakers with something world class like the single driver/ crossover-free Audience The One, and stumbled upon the Rebecca speaker ($850/pair). The Rebecca, uses top notch components including a good size ribbon tweeter; it's definitely peaked my interest. I currently have the $59/pair Dayton Audio B652-AIR, which have the air motion tweeters similar to the Martin Logan motion series. I like Magnepans, but am limited to bookshelves for now. Has anyone heard of the Rebecca speaker? http://www.alexissound.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
