I have been staying with the 2 channel stuff. I have some DTS recording and some DVD-A and they are great. I just like the quality stereo 2 channel better.

Willie Nelson is a great disk and so is the count Bessie. Just picked up Roger Waters live 2 disk. pretty damn nice. Dave Brubeck is nice. half dozen classical disk too, maybe 15 so far. The media is little pricey so for sure you have to pick and choose. Marvin Gay and Billie Holiday were both disappointing and will be going to eBay soon!

I'll Have to get some satisfaction too

Agree with you on the quality, but I get no satisfaction from the re-mastered Stones discs- to me, the medium was the message, and their music, like Chuck Berry's, was made to be played through an overdriven, clipping old tube AM radio, loud, preferably in the back seat of a car. In a lot of their songs, like Street Fighting Man, they recorded parts into portable cassette players and then miked those into the consoles to get that sound.

Have always been a big fan of Keith's, as most guitar players have been. Just about no better at making good solid music, without the flash (except when Jack Jumps). A lot of his riffs and songs sound very simple but they're actually very complicated and tough to get the right sound. Dude also deserves some kind of special award for staying alive!
