Best sounding LP's


I'm new to analog, and discovering that LP's, like CD's, are definitely not created equal in terms of sound quality. I've bought some used classical LP's, including a recent Deutche Gramaphone (sp?) recording that sounded really great and I realized how bad the others were after that.

Is there a web site that rates records for their recording quality? CD's also for that matter. If there's not one, somebody should start one. For me with classical, sound quality is paramount. How do you guys decide what to buy?

I would suggest the Music Corner part of Steve Hoffman's website for discussions of the merits of various LP pressings -- I have learned more about various LP pressings here than anywhere else! See: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/

For a dealer that actually listens to LP's, visit Tom Port's Better Records website. Tom is very opinionated, but I seldom disagree with his assessment of LP reissues. See http://www.dccblowout.com/

Good luck with your vinyl acquisitions!
