3) Jesse Cook: Vertigo
I've had this dsic in the carousel player. I wanted to pick a well recorded "normal" cd to compare my SACD player against. This Narada recording was just the ticket, the sound quality hold up very well against the hi-res recording (an SACD jazz sampler).

newtrix, if you enjoy both acoustic guitar chops like Jesse Cook along with sound quality above reproach, you might be interested in a disc by an acoustic fingerstylist named Pat Kirtley, "Brazilian Guitar". In an email response I got from him, he told me that he was a recording engineer himself for several years and when he recorded the album, he and the engineers went to great pains to make sure it was the best possible recording. When I play this on my system with the little Optimus LX-5's, this disc fools me into thinking I'm listening to much bigger speakers. Here's a link: http://www.accentonmusic.com/cd_detail.asp?qID=105
