    I have a small collection(30 or so). What types of music are you into?

    Yeah, tell us what you are into. I have maybe 25-30 DVD-A discs (and around 50-60 SACD). I can recommend some great titles, but it all depends on what you dig.

    I have a few, here's my write-up on them:

    I need to update that with my newer ones...most noteably Deadwing by Porcupine Tree and Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. Both are great!

    N A: I heard "Rumors" was a severely flawed DVD-A mix. You think it sounds really good?

    I would recommend:

    Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club
    The Doors - L.A. Woman
    Trey Anastasio - Trey Anastasio (not the new one)
    Bela Fleck - The Bluegrass Sessions: Acoustic Planet #2 (the sound quality is perfect)
    Either of the Blue Man Group releases
    Medeski Martin and Wood - Uninvisible
    Talking Heads - Brick (yeah it's 8 discs, but the sound quality is absolutely phenomenal)
    Queen - A Night At The Opera
    Studio Voodoo - Studio Voodoo (if you can handle trance/loop beats/etc, this disc will freak you out in a good way. I'm not a fan of that style of music, but this disc is fun)

    Yeah, I love it. I don't hear any problems with it and trust me..I'm picky. It certainly sounds better than a good many of the other DVD-A's I have.

    more modern

    If you're into more modern, "top 10" or plain beats with bass, I would strongly recommend Linkin Park - Reanimation and Crystal Method - Legion of Boom. Because both of those are mostly computer-generated beats, remixes and sounds, the remixers of the DVD-A's really had fun with varying different sounds throughout your HT setup, as well as pumping out killer bass. They are 2 of my favorite demo DVD-A's.

    Also, I forgot to mention a couple: Blue Man Group - The Complex and anything by Santana. I think he has 2 DVD-A's out.

    I like all kinds of music except rap.

    I really like classic rock, some techno.

    I would really like just something different for dvd-a. Something that would showcase it well. Maybe some ambient music, like rainforrest thunderstorm with lightning striking everywhere or something.

    Dvd-a

    If yu like classic rock/blues, Gary Moore's "Back to the Blues" is excellent.

    Anything by Widespread Panic if you're into blues/rock/jam stuff.
    Crystal Method's "Legion of Boom" is great also...
    Tons of classical music.
