Best vinyl of "Who's Next"


I have the MCA 1/2 speed masterphile record and I think its very detailed but to some degree maybe a little to much so. The Lowry organ sounds fantastic but the cymbles have a lot of sibilence. Overall all I like the sound in which what I would call aggressive. I also have the Classic Record Quiex vinyl as well. It is much more mellow but not as detailed. With the MCA, you can hear the acoustic guitar fade out in the middle right before the organ comes in on "Won't Get Fooled Again". I also played it with the CD and the speed is a little slower. I also have a 2nd or 3rd pressing of the original record which sounds quite good, Which versions that you have heard sound the best?

If able have you tried adjusting the VTA on your tonearm to accommodate the extra thickness on The MCA and Classic vinyl? 
Nice tonearm. Yeah standard Vinyl is 120 grams and most audiophile recordings are 180 or 200 grams. The thickness of the wax has to be accounted for maximum benefit. I adjust with different thickness. I even have a few 150 gram recordings.
If they still make them invest in a Signet Electronic Stylus Cleaner. Gets your stylus as clean as a hounds tooth. Hand held,turn on, put vibrating pad on needle, 10 seconds later wahla.
