@tomcarr +1, utilizing that same grading system as I am culling 2,000 albums down to hopefully 800-1,000 and have to say that I am coming up with about the same #s you have. Enjoy the music
How much is about the recording
For myself, I'm comfortable in knowing I have arrived. At my own personal audio joy through years of empirical data and some engineering knowledge and application. I just wonder how many like minded individuals find as much joy in finding the best recordings vs the perceived next best gear. Peace.
