What are you planning to procure Analog system wise ?

Good Listening

Peter

Thanks Whart

Peter: System-wise I am looking at a VPI Classic Signature turntable with a 10" JWM classic 3-D printed arm; Ortofon Windfeld MC Phono cartridge, and an Allnic H3000LCR tube phono stage. Cabling will be by High Fidelity.

I know its not the best in the world, but should prove to be a very nice-sounding place to start. There are already mostly purchased - just awaiting delivery.

As mentioned the genre is a good place to start because the
best Jazz pressing and recording can mean nothing if you're into Polka. But in Rock I suggest:
Mobile Fidelity(MF)-- Release of "Little Feat-Waiting for Columbus"
Friday Music(FM)-- any Yes re-release has been very good
but Close to the Edge is a favorite
StarFaith Records--Santana-Shape Shifter
MF--Dire Straits-Brothers in Arms
MF--Bob Dylan-Desire
Sundazed--Stevie Ray Vaughn-Couldn't Stand the Weather

and the list goes on and on......
enjoy your new dimension of music appreciation

" I have a highly resolving system and am counting on your response to give me a reason to keep my analog gear as well as digital."

That's silly. Why not just count on yourself? Having someone else pick your records doesn't sound like a path to success.

Theo - thanks

Zd543 - because there is not enough of me to go around. I also don't have years and years within which to make these choices. I of course will make the ultimate choice of what I purchase. I believe that by vastly shrinking my purchasing universe based upon my fellow audiophiles' favorites, I will come across many, many more high quality albums than I ever could on my own.
