I have 70K of equipment in 2 systems. You can look it up here, they are both posted.

I have about a hundred or so Classical cd's, mostly the Mercury Living Presence CD's, and many of the RCA reissues plus a bunch of Telarcs. My point is, many people get turned off on a piece of gear because they aren't familiar with the music and have nothing to compare it to. I don't listen to the Classical cd's very often as it tends to put me to sleep but I keep them as some kind of point of reference.
Not all Rock is compressed and there are many excellent Rock recordings from the late 60's through most of the 70's. Any of the Steely Dan CD's come to mind as well as some of the live concerts at the Fillmore East and many others. I have almost the entire MFSL Rock recordings on cd and many of them are excellent so I kind of call BS on the reason for Classical.
