ELO and the search for SQ

I like ELO's music! But the quality of my 3 cd compilation of their music (Afterglow) has always disappointed.  The recordings are really lackluster. Then I came across an ELO song on a 70's compilation cd and it was gorgeous - clean and detailed and dynamic. So now I'm on the hunt for quality recordings of their music. Even though I have a VPI Classic 3, my preference is to go digital (I'm getting lazy). Will the digital downloads from HDtracks or Acoustic Sounds give me the SQ I'm looking for? Are the 192/24 downloads worth the extra expense over the 96/24 downloads?

I recall reading a previous post of yours regarding acoustic treatments. You posted at that time you have your system set up in a corner of your room.

I'd suggest you start to examine this sort of system placement before any kind of cd vs.lp war.

Good luck.

you're never going to be able to hear what that TT can retrieve from your lps until you provide it's proper placement and associated gear, IE: acoustic treatments, speaker placement.......

A failure on my part to communicate - i own no Electric Light Orchestra lps. I was hoping for recommendations for high quality digital recordings of ELO. If none exist, I will opt for vinyl.

Speaking of ELO, Jeff Lynne produced an album in 1993 for Julliana Raye entitled Something Peculiar, and it is fantastic!
