How many lps before you like it

Your favorite groups LPs how many have you had to go through before you found that magic one.
For me i love the Moody Blues i have bought quite a few. and still looking,
Blood Sweat and Tears i have three 360 columbia's that are real close and sound very good.
Beatles i give up i cant top my MFSL except for a great copy of Abby Road.
Elton john Tumbleweed Connection it took 5 and i have a copy thats very pleasing. and Mad Man Across the Water i have settled for a DCC copy so far after several US pressings.
Chicago Transit Authority i have a Columbia 360 thats OK still looking. Of coarse to many more to list.
Its a fact that one LP will sound better than another. one more of the things that make analog LP collecting and listening fun.

I would agree Stltrains, it is hard to learn which pressing is best. It is even harder to come upon an early (hot) stamper, but with perseverance it can be done.

No amount of system tweaks will replace an excellent pressing. (period)
Because the record is the source not the gear.

I have gone through fifteen or so copies of Van Morrison’s Band and the Street Choir album since 1970 before finding the one that is scary real. It happened to be a second pressing Canadian WB label. Good fortune.

Happy Listening!
