Most of my favorite classical recordings (not necessarily performances of music) will appear on Hyperion, Dorian, Chandos, Harmonia Mundi, Reference Recordings, Mercury Living Presence, Telarc, Delos, and Dorian.

Sheffield Labs Drum track on XRCD

I second these comments by Newbee and Shadorne enthusiastically (I have the original Sheffield Track Record on direct-to-disk vinyl; the xrcd includes both the Drum & Track records which were originally separate).

Also, quoting from myself in a recent similar thread:

Most of my listening has been on vinyl, but among the hundred or so cd's in my collection I would say Dvorak's "New World Symphony," Chesky CD31, conducted by Jascha Horenstein, and recorded in 1962!

As has often been said, what counts is usually not which technology is used, but how well it is executed.

What does POS mean? =8^)

Given that he is a generation or so removed from the school-age crowd which uses that term while instant messaging to indicate "Parent Over Shoulder," I'm sure that he was using it to denote "Positively OutStanding"! :)
