My CD recommendation list is as follows:

	Donald Fagen "Nightfly" - quiet and well recorded.
		I used this one when A/Bing CD machines when I could.  "New
		Frontier" sounded bad on the Hitachi machine, 'sandy' sounding
		if you will. [digital mastered]
	Kitaro - "Kai" (sp?) the whole thing is in Japanese so I am in the
		dark as how to spell it.  "Silk Road" is also very good but
		not digilly mastered.  This is 100% synthesizer music
		much like a Japanese sound to Synergy.  I don't know what
		Japanese currency exchanges to but the Japanese price printed
		on the label was 3500 Yen.  [digital master]
	The Who "It's Hard" - analog master but great sound, try "Emminence
		Front". [analog master]
	Michel Jarre "Magnetic Fields" or "Oxygene" - haven't heard this
		on my Yamaha, can't find it in Rochester, but sounded
		great on resonex!tggsu's machine.  These are sythesizer
		based. [? master]
	Windom Hills '82 Sampler CD - great miking, excellent selections
		mild Jazz orientation.  If you like guitar this is one you 
		should get.  You will not cry "lack of presence"
		with this disk.  The only fault I can say about it is that
		it is analog mastered, and you can hear a little hiss when
		you crank up the volume.  It is so good you soon forget about
		the little bit of noise.  I hear that the newer
		Windom Hills materials are being digitally mastered, can't
		wait to try some! [analog master]
	Duran Duran "Rio" is great also [digital master]

I hope that helps someone who is trying to listen to some machines.  BTW, 
the Peter Gabriel CD mentioned in the parent article sounded great in one of
the stereo shops I went to.
