Have you not given Qobuz's updated 'Selling England by the Pound' a minute or two...? Perhaps I'm alone, but I find it very engaging and a much appreciated offering.
On a similar but different note, just now wading into some solid tube non-hybrid pre & amp (Atma-Sphere) pieces. Seconds Out's 'Supper's Ready' has always been an al time favorite for me. It's one of those few tunes for me that once cued up, it will be played full thru (all +24 mins), each and every time. Without exaggeration, I've no doubt listened to it full thru well over one-hundred times. Proverbial gift that just keeps giving. Just never before realized (before A-S, anyway) just what an outstanding recording this piece really is. An opening up of the soundstage (guessing the tubes) that makes it even more special to me. Sorry, was listening to it as I stated this response and felt compelled to pass along. 'A flower...?'
Happy listening,
Todd
