Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Recommendation for CDs That Image and Demo CDs

Thanks for the help guys. I'm putting all these down on my "must have" list.

I can't believe I never knew of that Johnny Cash CD until just now. That's first on the list.

Keep 'em comming, guys.

This cd might not be for everyone, but my Axiom's (the M60's) do an excellent job of wrapping you in a creative world of orchestra sounds, synths, and beautiful vocals brought to you by Goldfrapp's "Felt Mountain". The production or sound quality may not be up to par to many audiophiles because it is a very *hot* recording. If you want to test brightness on your Axiom's, this would be a good one to listen to. When I first listened to this cd, it was in my car and I absolutely hated it because it hurt my ears. However, the supposedly "bright" Axioms actually made it more tolerable and brought me a whole new appreciation for this album. The sounds were no longer a pile of noisy mush drilling my ears, but instead a rich array of enveloping sounds. Along with Alison Goldfrapp's lovely vocals which seem right there in the room with you, it's so trippy...IF you can handle that type of music! Again, not everyones cup of tea, but if we are talking about imaging, this does it for me. Very cool!

Well as most know, Johnny Cash passed away today, so I am just giving this reccomendation for the best cd for showing off a stereo again. I am listening right....Thanks for the music Johnny Cash!

Johnny Cash - American Recordings...go buy it!

Just ordered Sacred Treasures I, II, and III from Amazon. hehe...

Thanks, Peter!

You'll let me know, of course, whether my impressions of the acoustics contained on disc II are all in my head, right?

Sure! The only problem is that the II and III are both back-ordered -- won't be shipped till mid-October.

You know, there's a reason the phrase "patience is a virtue" was coined before internet shopping was invented.

I always take the following CD to audition speakers: Delerium - Karma. Huge sound stage and gorgeous female vocals.

Twopecker- I'm running up to the Virgin Megastore this week just so I can pick up the Johnny Cash - American Recordings CD.

And, the only reason why I'm getting something from the overpriced Virgin Megastore is because I was given a gift certificate to them. So after buying this CD with the $100 GC there, I should have change left for some gum. Those prices are INSANE!!!

Thanks, again, everyone for the awsome recomendations.

Just wanted to mention that the new Rosanne Cash album, Rules of Travel, is an excellent piece of work. There is a duet with her father called "September When It Comes" that is beautiful and heartbreaking.
