Oldest Recordings that sound “audiophile”

@cd318,

Thanks for your post and the history info. I’d have to agree with you, those 3 years were maybe the most crucial for rapid changes in audio - some bridges crossed and some others burned, if you will. I enjoyed your synopsis, I like learning about this period. And evidently the increased bandwidth of lp’s helped to greenlight the implementation of stereo, too.

I have enjoyed The Ghost And Mrs Muir soundtrack, but I haven’t seen the movie in so long now I scarcely recall much from it, but it seems like I remember it having some interesting humor sprinkled through it. FTM, I have been meaning to see it again myself.

Fiedler Gaite Parisienne. First stereo shaded dog. The sonics are still unsurpassed.

any of the Reiner / Chicago / RCA.".unreal SQ

Dean Martin alblum Dream with Dean exceptional clarity and recording

Miles Davis: Kind of Blue. I know this goes without saying. Been issued and reissued many times, each saying this is the best. Vinyl is the best, but I'm not sure of best quality issue. (question for Michele Fremer) Have it on recent digital reissue. Recommend for even people who hate jazz.
