Until recently, I have found good and bad regardless of the process I used to find "Good Vinyl"  Whether I used type of vinyl, weight of vinyl, studio, engineer, pressing plant, etc...  Today, I use AI to start my searches.  When an album comes to mind that I want to own, I start by using AI to tell me what are the best versions of the album.  It presents me with a summary of which releases are the best and which pressings of that release are considered the best sonically.  UK, German, US, Japan, of a particular release are summarized.  Then it lists which versions are the best including remaster/re-releases and engineer.  It separates original release from re-issues and re=masters and tells which is most authentic and considered the best for "Audiophiles".  I use that information to start my own research and decide what i want to buy.  

As I understand it, AI has a great system and listens to music all day long. Not. Selecting sonically special LPs has to be experiential by its very nature and is ultimately subjective. What AI says is a distillation of all the opinions it can find on the internet, valid or phony.

Yes, Hedges and Winston come to mind as well as "a starry night' or something like that.

Dear @lewm : I own all the RR LPs and yes maybe not the best Artistor scores but very good to excellent quality sound levels and no it's not mainly Jazz but different genres.

In my personalcomparison tests wide proccess I use one track ( part of it ) in the 45rpm Dafos RR: Gates of Dafos is the track. I live Eileen Farrel RR recordings.

Some mentioned Janis Ian Breaking Silence, I use too 2 trakcs of the LP ( part of it ) in my comparison proccess.

 

Btw, here the today RR catalog, unfortunatelly no LPs down there only digital. Dr. Johnson ( Spectral electronics. ) was rhe first to made a D2D CD.

Regards and ENJOY THE MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS
