Whats on your turntable tonight?

The Beatles Red and Blue greatest hits albums. I found them last year, in NM condition, and seldom bring them out. Listing to these, it makes me realize why digital music is so popular. They don't sound 30% as good as my MOFI boxed set (the recordings, the records are pristine), but having all of the greatest hits songs compilated is so convenient.

Actully, I hate to say this, but the remastered 2009 digital recordings, in AppleLossless, played through my Wyred4Sound DAC 2, sound better than these vinyl versions.

Sad to say.

Dvorak "Symphony No. 5 in E minor Op. 95" Kertesz/Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (Decca SXL 2289)

Dave Brubeck Quartet "Time Out" (Columbia CS8192)

Emerson, Lake and Palmer "Emerson, Lake and Palmer" (Cotillion SD 9040)

Copeland "Appalachian Spring" Clark/Pacific Symphony Orchestra (15 ips tape from Reference Recording master - Tape Project)

"La Folia (collection of Spanish Renaissance Dances), Paniagua/AtrmMMadrid, Harmonia Mundi HM 1050 (ATR 0103 reissue)"

Excellent choice. The 'jalopy' pulling up at the end of the LP is stunning, but the entire LP is of reference quality.

Looks like you added a DAC?

I've always heard that this was a recording of a Land Rover, but may just be a myth.
