What are your favorite recordings that sound best to you?


What would be the best sounding records you have ever listened to that sound best to you regardless of its genre, pressing, mastering, label, value or a technology used to record it?

So many, but these are examples from my listening session today that come to mind (not on LP, but hopefully it’s consistent with the streaming, cd recording quality of these albums)…

Peter Frampton - Acoustic Classics

Ballake Sissoko & Vincent Segal - Chamber Music

The Toure-Raichel Collective - Tel Aviv Sessions

 

The further I come along in this audio journey, the less I refer to my reference albums to check on my system. Reason is I get sick listening to this couple dozen albums over and over again. I much rather play a wider inventory even so it has some sound limitations, because by now I can easily discern those shortcomings and work on my system accordingly. I have been purposely ignoring my reference albums so I can enjoy their music once again down the road. To me life is too short to let my system narrow down my musical experience to a few reference albums no matter how great they sound.

@baylinor , +10 to the fourth...;)

I have my ’favs’, but will withhold them to myself, for myself. If a stranger was to peruse my ’library’, they would likely be confused to glean the chaff from the kernels that counted...

I’ve a lot of that which I return to, to revisit time, place, and space; driven by mood and desire to attempt the improbable.
A return, if but for a moment, what branded itself into my unknitting neurons....
If you’d like to hear them, show up when my ashes get tossed into the local river.

By then, ’appearance’ to that ’show’ ought to be ’live-streamed’ in some fashion, and likely not a ’node buster’ or that would cause a DOS in any case.

I’m ok with that....’fringe folk’ are used to that, and wouldn’t deny demise anyway.

I’ll work on the programming in the meanwhile.... ;)
