I suppose it all depends on the type of music you like. For classical, the best sounding ones remain US early pressings of RCA Living Stereo and Mercury Living Presence. For classic rock, I'd differ that MOFI's always sound better. In fact, many of them sound (at least on my system) way too bassy and enhanced, although they usually are much quieter. Main reason to buy them is that they're usually (emphasize "usually") clean and in good shape as the people who invested in them tended to take good care of them. Sonically, I prefer the english pressings for the analog-like sound, but japanese pressings can sometimes provide tremendous detail (although they tend to sound a little more analytical). Bottom line, like everything else it all varies. A good place to start for specific recordingds may be may be The Absolute Sound records to die for list (downloadable free from their website www.theabsolutesound.com. Enjoy your listening,...
