new cary v12 needs new music


i am going to purchase some new music later today so that i can kick back and really appreciatemy newest addition to my system
the cary v12 has been a complete pleasure to listen to thus far, very smooth, utterly engaging and musical, no fatigue whatsoever
the rogue 88 amp the cary replaced was a very nice amp i thoroughly enjoyed owning and listening to, but the cary is a far more refined creature altogether

anyway, i would like to solicit some cd recommendations from the audiogon family.
i enjoy rock, pop, and especially good acoustic ensembles and jazz.
recently i listened to a cyrus chestnut cd and was very taken with the sound
i am also considering adding something from hot tuna or jorma kaukonen to my collection today
i think this may give you an impression of what i have in mind and what i like
widespread panic, gov't mule and dave matthews are also on a short list of mine for todays purchase
i listen to just about everything, so any recommendation is cool

ok, i'll let audiogon speak and i will listen
thanks in advance

All the above recomendations are very nice. I even learned about a few myself. About a week ago, I decided that my CD collection was lacking any Rolling Stones CDs. Yes I have them on vinyl , DVD and even a nice LD. On the Rock music forum at Audio Asylum, was comment that the newest compliation, Fourty Licks had decent sound. I bought it, went home, powered up, flipped the V12i to ultra linear and waited a half hour. I returned, inserted Fourty Licks into my Cary 308T w/Mullard long plates and sat down to listen . The Stones have never sounded this good, even through my HT system. I did try switching to Triode, but lost a little of the dynamics that makes you want to get up and boogie. On the other hand, Diana Krall "Live in Paris" and Patricia Barber "Verse" are better in triode.
