Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs
Thank you so much @bdgregory ​​​​@hertzhead  Much appreciated!  
Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs
@czarivey hmmm….not to me.  I get that this is subjective and not factual.  I was just trying to stay away from the usual, Hell Freezes Over, Aja, DSOM, Live in Paris sort of albums that we usual see with these kinds of threads.     Happy to see ...

@grislybutter @bigtwin @winoguy17 thank you for your suggestions.  Really appreciate it as these would otherwise not be on my radar.  
Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs
Thanks @mahler123 really appreciate your insights and recommendations.  Time to hit Discogs to see if I can find a couple of these! looking forward to hearing from others as well…..any genre of your favorites with unbelievable fidelity.  
Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs
Ah, thank you for that.  My ignorance about classical is vast.  
Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs
@mahler123 please feel free to suggest your favorite classical LPs that have stunning fidelity.  I know so little about classical but I would love to add some great recordings to my collection.     Who else has some contributions?

Fading Background Vocals Conundrum

Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About?
  Here's mine....I've had it for just a few months but I really love it.  Turntable was made by Joel at Audiowood in NOLA.  The arms are both Audiomods, one is a 10.5" and the other is a 9".  Koetsu Rosewood on the 9" and Soundsmith Paua on the... 
How good is Aesthetix audio?
I’ve had a used Rhea Signature phono stage for about six months now.  I was able to demo it in home against a CJ an Allnic and a couple of others and it was the best sounding amp easily.      The Rhea Signature is able to accommodate up to three ... 
New Custom Turntable
Thank you @karl_desch I'm very much enjoying it!  At some point I'll try out another cart or two.  
New Custom Turntable
@roxy54 The three feet under the TT are ISO Acoustics so they should help as well with the dampening.    
New Custom Turntable
Thank you @elrod    It does sound really nice.  A lot more adjustable than a Rega RB330 arm.
