When friends are here and ask to hear something played my go-to demo is Steely Dan’s Aja (side 1). They’ve heard those tunes many times but played on a good system they quickly realize there’s a lot more music there to hear and enjoy. They’re surprised it’s just an LP I bought in 1977 and have taken care of (played countless times), not a special high-end recording.

They always want to hear an LP. If they care to compare, I can play them the digital versions.

If they want more it’s on to Roxy Music’s Avalon or Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors or for something way different Jennifer Warnes’ famousblueraincoat or EL VY’s Return To The Moon.

Tho our stereos are amateur systems , my stereo if my reference for how live should sound . If I go to a live show which is often , I expect it to sound better or I am disappointed for paying big bucks for live music. 
yes our stereos should make the audio sound great but I have many
albums that stand out in the production sound and recording
