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
Elvis-Aloha From Hawaii(Quadradisc VPSX-6089) Side 1
Rod Stewart-Camouflage Side 1
Santana-Inner Secrets Side 1 SQ*
Dvorak-Prague Waltzes/Czech Suite(Dorati LDR-71024) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Lisa Stansfield-Affection Side A SQ*
Willie Nelson-Stardust Side 1 SQ*
MJQ 1984-"Echoes" Together Again Side 1 SQ*
Kim Carnes-Mistaken Identity Side 1 SQ Audiophile
With 4 SQ* near misses does NOT imply I was indecisvie, they just fell short of the top 2. Kim Carnes/Doug Sax take the SQ crown. Elvis had the worst SQ. Despite Elvis being on his last leg some magic still exists. IMO Secrets/Camouflage are overlooked with Stardust being over hyped. Willie is at his best with Honky/Tonk or Arlo Guthrie(type) ramblings. FWIW all 8 albums have NOT been previously played as I approach 90% of my vinyl collection played that started in April 2020.
The pressing is very quiet but it’s yellow, impossible to see the track breaks. The SQ is much better than my OP, really enjoyable…as is the music. It’s worth owning.
You’ve been playing a lot of records, your amps must be sounding their best by now. Life is good Brother!
Alice Cooper-Love It To Death(Censored Jax 71' pressing) Side 1
Andy Williams-Happy Heart Side 1
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils-It's Alive Side 4
Julie London-Julie Is Her Name(LST-7027) Side 1 SQ*
Shannon-Love Goes All The Way Side 1 SQ*
Jefferson Starship-Winds Of Change Side A
Mahler-Symphony No.7(Pro-Arte 2PAL-2003) Side 1 SQ*
Nicki Parrot-The Last Time I Saw Paris Side A SQ Audiophile
Very diverse music content tonight. My wife got a kick out of Andy Williams following Alice Cooper! All 8 albums have NOT been previously played. Alice might have had the worst SQ but it did not distract the content. might be his best! If you enjoy female vocals with Audiophile SQ, Nicki Parrot is a must have!
