Classical music recordings upgrade

I have Beethoven's 9 symphonies by CSO with Solti at the helm on London recordings. Great performance, dreadful analog to digial transfer. Need suggestions for better recordings of this material. CSO is my favorite, but will listen to other orchestras. Thanks.

For complete sets:

Barenboim, Berlin Staatskapelle on Teldec, the 1963 Karjan cycle on DG, the Bohm cycle on DG, and the Wand set on RCA are my favorites.

Per Vvrinc: Norrington's NEW set on Hanssler Classic also ranks up there with the best. It still has the HIP sound, but MUCH better played and conducted than his earlier set (which is still available on Virgin Classics). That's definitely worth hearing!
