I agree with mkuller that many reviewers that a handful of reference recordings
they repeatedly use in evaluating new components. I certainly have some,
though they are not necessarily favorites; they are references for assessing
certain characteristics of the device being reviewed.But to your point, I offer the following just to show that 'never' is not quite
accurate. I'm sure there are others, from my reviews and the reviews of
other writers. These are albums I happen to like, have on both vinyl and
CD, and can tell me a lot about what a component is bringing to the game.You Get More Bounce with Curtis Counce
