@slaw I think you mean just going after the not-so-obvious good pressings.  What’s obvious or less so is certainly subjective.  I know everyone here has good intentions of just passing on the news of great sounding recordings.   Keep it going!

@laynes ​​​​and @2channel8 thank you for those thorough lists.  I have some of those but I’ll check out some of the others you mentioned.  My copy of Morning Phase also sounds incredible.    
Seeking Legit Cartridge Expert?
As others have mentioned, the Soundsmith Paua Mk II is an excellent cart.  It’s detailed and neutral but not boring or bright at all.  I’ve had mine for about a year and it’s a keeper.  New models are quite expensive but used one can be had for un...

@coltrane1 thank you my friend.  Much appreciated!  
Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs
Hey @coltrane1 on your word, I just bought a copy of 360 Degrees on Discogs!  Can’t wait to give it a listen.  Plus I do love soul and funk.  And I’ll definitely be looking for some Eva Cassidy as you and so many others have recommended her. Than...

Love your taste in music @coltrane1 and I'll check out those suggestions.  I've got a bunch of Stevie Wonder and most of them sound wonderful.  
Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs
I'm loving all of these suggestions!   Thanks @doyle3433 I'll definitely look those up. @zimwig - love these as well.  I was able to see Sarah Jarosz in concert here about a year ago when she toured with Marc Cohn and Shawn Colvin.  Such an amaz...

Great stories @tylermunns to go along with the great recommendations!  Thanks for those.  It almost seems like we're beating the system when we can find amazingly recorded LPs for $5 or less.  Pretty much no money for a treasure trove of audio bli...

@dorkwad now that's a list!  Totally agree on the ones I own as well.  I was just listening to side B of Dreamboat Annie last night.  I have a repress of Tumbleweed but it sounds fantastic.  Looks like I may have some more items in the shopping ca...

I'm really loving all of these suggestions.  Please keep 'em coming!

Great suggestions and thank you @jwei and @dorkwad  I love my copy of Bill Evans Live at the Village Vanguard.  I’ll have to check out the Montreux album.

@kerrybh I've hear that SRV album and it's really fabulous.  Plus I need a better copy of Abrades than the one I currently own.
