Someone brought up the lack of Classical music responses indicating that LP is a poor medium for Classical. I have found exactly the opposite and one of the main reasons for my move back to vinyl was Classical music. Classical on CDs is simply unlistenable to me. On CD Classical is a lifeless, smeared mushed together un-dynamic sound with little resolution between instruments and sections of the orchestra. When I switched to vinyl I had the dynamics necessary for Classical music and there was separation in the orchestra. To list favorite Classical LPs would be tedious for me, as I tire of lists in audiophilia, but with about 1000 plus Classical LPs and growing, I can assure everyone that their is only one medium for classical and that is LP. Try it, you'll like it.
What LP shows what analog can do?
I'm relatively new to analog. I've bought up some $1 records, and many sound surprisingly good (though I don't have a cleaner, so some are cracklier than I'd like).
I'd like to buy a couple of new LPs (probably from MusicDirect) that are at the very top sound quality. Of course, music quality counts too. So really I'm looking for suggestions for the record you put on to impress your friends (to show them the difference from CD), or to sit back and truly enjoy just how good analog can sound. I sort of have classical in the back of my mind, but I'm open to whatever.
Thanks.
