Cyrille Aimée has a sweet, lovely voice and on her new album she sounds very intimate on the LCD-4.
This recording of Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring is one of my favorites, by Eiji Oue and
the Minnesota Orchestra. Its a very dynamic recording (DR16) and the bass drum is especially
prominent with visceral impact and an unusually long decay.
Another favorite is Lorin Maazel conducting the Cleveland Orchestra, a standout Telarc recording with a spectacular brass section.
I can't find it on YouTube but the CD is on Amazon.
300B tube amp
which one?
I like her too but for natural SQ I still think the Sound Liaison recordings with Carmen Gomes are hard to beat;

Many people love the ECBA. I know I did. http://www.eddiecurrent.com/BA.html
Woo Audio makes the WA5 and WA lite (less money). http://www.wooaudio.com/products/wa5.html (WA5 maybe better for hard to drive headphones like HD800, LCD-4, HE1000)
There maybe other 300B headphone amps out there.
I'd go with Emission Labs 300B XLS tubes.
