Any system can enjoy good music. But of course for best effect use good audio system can bring out another level of enjoyment.

You ain't need high-end audio equipment to enjoy good music!

for me... it depends on the equipments I play with lor...

with Home Hi-Fi, I prefer classical and jazz
In my car, prefer House music
PC, anything... due to lousy sound quality

a good in-car setup can sometimes do better than a home audio setup.

wah you guys so niche ah?

Can I recommend more main stream and/or hip-hop stuff hahah

maybe its the confine space within the car, which is very hard to have the wide sound staging......

anyway... My home setup cannot play the house/techno properly..... too fast pace already...

different music genre for different hardware choice and srtup. It's correct ah bro.

I traded-in 300B tube amp for solid state in-car for this same reason - change of genre - or should I say, staying pure to genre. Used to lisgten to all sorts of music from vocalist to mainstream pop but eventually decide to focus on maoinstream stuff, hip hop and rock. from then on, all set up are for this genres.

Then share some nice albums for us to appreciate. Leave the audio system out of it. We keep it simple, share good music or at least the kind of music you feel are worth recommending. No right no wrong. Just share and we can discuss further if anyone goes by.

Have you try searching over the web-based music store?

Or you can visit new disc village, THAT CD shop, HMV etc and enquire?

all above asked b4... they dont have....

Try to search for Nu Jazz and see if anything turns up for that genre of music. There are a few international web radio (France, UK, etc) that serves pretty good Nu Jazz / New Age music.

If looking for non-vocal, I recommend Chris Botti (trumpet). Some tracks have guest vocals (e.g. Sting) which are pretty good.

ICE can produce good studio recording because of the confined space. You need to damp the room at the right places so that your room has that studio sound. However, also due to the confined space, ICE depends on TA to create the soundstage. A home audio hence as an advantage of recreating a live recording.

I'm still more happy with my home setup!

search liao, dun have... anyway, I managed to downloaded a link with a licensed website. Everytime I play the song, I need to log on to internet...

Yup, it is easier to create the good sound staging from a home setup.... I also prefer my home setup for jazz, Vocal and classical music....
