For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
Mongo Santamaria-OLE' OLA(CJP-387) Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Dimitri Tiomkin-Lost Horizon(RCA-ARL1-1669) Side A SQ Audiophile
Secret Sphere-Portrait Of A Dying Heart Side B
Pat Metheny Group-Offramp Side 1
Susannah McCorkle-No More Blues(CJ-370) Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Earl Klugh-Dream Come True Side 2 SQ Audiophile
With 5/8 recordings with Audiophile SQ and Metheny a near miss makes for a very satisfying night of vinyl playback! Concord Jazz tasted defeat tonight even with 2 albums. A thrift store find Dimitri Tiomkin/Lost Horizon was purchased due to being in mint condition, was not expecting possible demo disc SQ and top level content.
Grover Washington Jr.-The Best Is Yet To Come Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Mike Post-Television Theme Songs Side 1+2
Miklos Rozsa-Rozsa Conducts Rozsa(DG 2584 021) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Black Sabbath-13 Side C+D
Deniece Williams-I'm So Proud Side 1
Even the later pressed "13"(2013) and "The List"(2009) had very acceptable SQ, no excuse for so many newer pressings with poor SQ. Miklos Rozsa takes the SQ crown tonight.
