Perfect CD to test Equipment


I just purchased this CD "Drums & Bells" by nonoise recommendation and was blown away by the clarity and dynamics of the recording. I am using Chord Hugo Dac and it sounds better than my DSD and hi resolution files. Its only 16bit???. Has anyone else auditioned this recording? I want to thank nonoise for his recommendation. Anyone else that heard this CD has the same experience with other setups?

This Tonian Lab CD Drums & Bells is the most realistic percussion recording I have ever listened too,.

I have the popular recordings from Sheffield Labs, Chesky Records AIX Records ect and the very best percussion they have to offer , All of their percussion pieces are 2nd place to Tonian Labs Drums & Bells. None of them can touch the realistic dynamics and timbre of Drums & Bells ,.

i spoke with Tony Minasian recording engineer and owner of Tonian Labs what recording steps he used to capture the realism of his recording,.Tony replied nothing special though he did use a mic that he modified himself ,..Tony went on to say he owened more then $250,000 in microphones and he is about to release a Jazz cd very soon ,.
$20.00 for Drums & Bells would be one of the best audio purchases you can make ,.I urge you to listen for your self .
