I just picked up Bill Evans discography but I haven't gone through it yet.  Oddly though I'm less of a fan of solo works as I am of the piano inside the working group of most genres.  I love all the jazz pianist from the 50's  Red Garland, Ahmad Jamal, McCoy Tyner, Wynton Kelly, Tommy Flanagan, Thelonius Monk, Duke ellington.

Thanks WarrorAnt and Brasewel, this is a good list to start with this weekend.  Just got my Norse cable yesterday so now I'm ready for pure listening. 

 

I signed up for a library card, it's been about 20 years since I used the public library.  Lots changed, when I receive my library card in the mail I will be able to listen online to free content for streaming.

Just so that everyone knows, Grooveshark is a great place to stream music (192kbps mostly) for free. They have a massive collection of songs and albums. Mog is another good place (320kbps), but they charge $4 a month and their collection is not as extensive as Grooveshark.

Lots of folks don't know that they can browse their library online through the library website.  As I mentioned earlier get into the county system if you have one.  We have city libraries here also but I do not use them because the collection and funding cannot match a county system.

how is the LCD-2 with EDM? not ATB, but progressive and tech trance.

Name some of your favorites and I'll see if I have them.  Generally for me the LCD is excellent with all the music I've tried so far.  The better the DAC and the better the amp the better the LCD's sound.

Radion6 - Up We Go
Dakota - Johnny the Fox (Barnes & Heatcliff Remix)
AstroNivo - Ah, Das Ist Gut (Alter Breed Remix)
Mark Knight & Michael Woods - Banger (Original Club Mix)
Arnej - They Need Us

most of these are either on Markus Schultz' monthly Global DJ Top 15 or on Sander van Doorn's Identity Essentials compilations. you can also probably find them on youtube and definitely on zippyshare (320kbs MP3).

thanks!

btw my plans are LCD-2 with Schiit Lyr, using my X-Fi HD as a DAC (2Vrms RCA L-R)

The LCD-2 is good with all kinds of music but with EDM or death metal I think the D7000 is a better headphone.
