I have about 1300 CDs in my fairly eclectic music collection. These days, I listen primarily to jazz, and particularly to female vocalists. I've included some of my favorites on this page. All these CDs have both excellent music and excellent sonics (at least in my opinion). I've only just started putting this page together, so the recommendations and comments are a little thin. I'll add more CDs here as I have time.

The first song on this album "I can see clearly now" is one of the best recordings I've found for evaluating the sound of a system.
