A novice succumbs to audio nervosa-concerns/worries of "the better recording."
Just play a clean record and enjoy it. That's what I do while reading these forums, eating breakfast.
I do hear the LP version of a 1987 digital recording -1812 Overture w/Sir George Solti leading the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,as more convincing compared to the CD. Breathtaking,especially on a top not system. Playing the CD on an equally qualified system, there is a "something" the record presents which is more pleasing.
