What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

Still a little on the "bright" side
The SHM ones are a bit compressed to the originals, any compression make things sound bright/loud and uneasy to me.

Gaucho was the pits with later squashed releases and HD downloaded ones

Got around 6 of these, the best for me for a very long time was the 1980 Philips 400-021-2 Kirill Kondrashin/Concertgebow
Then I got the Jose’ Serebier?London Philli. RR-89CD. both very very good depending on mood.

When it comes to Scheherazade, The Fritz Reiner and the Chicago symphony recorded in 1961 Is my Favorite rendition of this amazing classical piece.  I have 4 different Versions on CD and also stream Amazon HD where there are several versions I’ve yet to hear.
Truly a wonderful musical experience.
