Just ordered this to see what the what is. Chesky's stuff is probably the best recorded music of any label I'm familiar with and I've got about 15 of their CD's.

25℅ off Chesky Records @ HDTracks, no code nec. May have to download that album tonight or at the very least sample a listen.

  ok, if you really want to see how good the HD800 S are I suggest listening to Melissa Menago album Little Crimes.  Recorded in a church in Brooklyn in the middle of a rain storm... wow.. no wonder it won the Chesky records shootout.. amazing album... shows just how incredible the HD800 S are.

Purchased, downloaded and spent a couple of hours listening to this wonderful album...couldn't put on my HD800S due to my other half being nearby 

Thanks for the suggestion

 

[Randy Myers]

It has become one of my go to albums.  I love that you can actually hear the rain on the roof of the church.

Hey fellas ...love to try something new....what type of Music does she sing?
 
Thanks,
 
Larry

 

[Randy Myers]

Hmmm... well she sings in a rock band, but this album (her first solo) would call folkish.... 

 

[LarryMagoo]

Thanks Randy...I heard a piece on HD Tracks...I kinda like her unique voice and her sound...I may have to get that Download from them...
 
Thanks for the Tip!   I mostly like Jazz...Diana Krall to Boney James....there's some Bass tracks on Boney's album "Ride". that could easily showcase the 800S Bass capabilities IMO...

 

[Randy Myers]

Yea, I also like Diana Krall, Holly Cole, Lyn Stanley, Norah Jones, Rebecca Pidgeon, Shelby Lynn, Patricia Barber, Liz Longley.... man there are a lot of great female vocalist ....

 

[Toolman]

Love Krall, Barber and Pidgeon but Norah Jones newer albums bores me tbh...was just listening to Melissa Menago's album with my HD800S and it's crazy good. For a moment I though it was raining outside LoL  

 

[Whazzzup]

I also enjoy smoky jazz vocal albums more than folksy. From dee dee bridgwater, carmen Lundy, Lindsay Webster, Ariana salvalis, caro Jose, Cassandra Wilson, Diana reeves, Emilio Clair Barlow, Gretchen paralto (live), hailie Loren, kandace springs etc... now I'm not into everything these ladies do but I found an album or two in repertoire that was quite to my liking. I spend too much time and money searching iTunes obviously... just for the curious.
Patricia barber sounds interesting, you may have cost me a few more bucks.

 

[MattTCG]

^^ Patricia Barber is great. Plus her albums are some of the best recorded that I own. 

 

[Randy Myers]

Agreed, Patricia Barber is excellent.  I have found that each of her six albums that I own have taken a few listens to really enjoy them.  She is quite different.  But, each are special in their own way.  I also forgot about Emilio Clair Barlow, I rather enjoy her DSD albums also!  There are so many good ones vocalist ...

 

[LarryMagoo]

We are probably hijacking this thread with Music likes....which I certainly like cause I may learn about someone new....Dang I have tried two Patricia Barber albums and I just don't dig her...;-(.   But I love smooth Jazz
 
You want some Bass testing for the.  800S go with Boney James (sax instrumentals with a few songs that actually have female singers...)
 
 
I will try some of the other gals listed above.  Wazzzup listed a few I have never heard of...Thanks!...I also like some of the oldies...like Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Rait and love the "Heart" Sisters!!!!
 
 
Cheers,
Larry

 

[Randy Myers]

Yea, there are so many good ones.... I love the Wilson sisters also (i.e. Heart), Sia, omg    on and on it goes.  Patricia Barber has some of the best recordings and best show casing of how good the HD800S are.  It does take some listening to gain an appreciation of her music (about the same as it took me to like Rickie Lee Jones), but it is worth it.  Her music is one of those that every time I listen I hear something that I never heard before ....  probably why I have six of her albums...
