Which Record makes your system shine?


Hey All, 

Been a while since I posted anything and I hope I am posting in the correct category.

So, just curious, which Vinyl Record, do you feel makes your system shine and display it's full potential?

OR, put another way, which record or records would you put on if you wanted to show off your system to someone who has not heard or seen it before?

Of course we know, not all records sound the same but for me I feel (at least on my system), it's the record: "Temptation" by Chantal Chamberland - Evosound Records

Carpenters: The Singles (forgot to check the record label).

On the other hand, I have James Taylor Greatest Hits on Vinyl and that record just sounds a bit veiled to me.

It's funny how one record can sound great and another, not that it sounds bad but just doesn't seem to have that crispness or openness to it.

System at the moment if you're wondering:

- Vincent SV-500
- Mofi Studio Desk w/Hana SL MC
- Martin Logan Motion 40 Speakers
- Sim Audio Moon 110lp V2 Phono
- Cardas Cabling

@mylogic ,

Yes, indeed.

Brothers in Arms is another great sounding album, and their debut album as well.

@faustuss my system is irrelevant. Some records (which I listed) sound incredible, flawless, etc. Some sound disappointing. Those listed as well. You don’t need to evaluate my responses. You have great sounding ELO records, I do not. It’s not a very objective subject.

re: Paul Simon's Graceland album  - the problem is the content.... cool

“Graceland album problem is the content”

And the voice. I have never been content with the voice. I just can’t listen to his voice. 
 

P.S. l have a objective compulsive disorder with.

I could stand his voice in the early days.

He appeared at the local folk club at “The Deer Leap” pub on the seafront in Exmouth, England in the mid 60s. Apparently he was paid £5 for his performance. The pub was subject to a local joke, and many said it was called The Deer Leap because it was the dearest public house in town.

I never minded his voice so much when it was diluted (like the beer) and washed over with Garfunkel.
