Thank you everyone for contributing. Never during this thread did I say these purchases need to be new or reissues. I've stated my difficulty finding music I'm familiar with that is well mastered and is quiet. Superior artistic flavor. I live in M...

Excellent @tzh21y  Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into the Analogue Production reissues. I've had great luck with them so far. @whart  that's quite a list! Thanks for chiming in.

My collection so far is composted of really great sounding records but there’s a lot of vinyl I just haven’t been able to get decent pressings or good masterings of? I don’t own hardly any originals pressings.  I’ve got nice Floyd The Wall Japanes...

If I had to pick just one favorite so far in my short stint with vinyl would be  The Wonderful Sounds of Female Vocals. (Various artists, 200 gram QRP) It's so much fun to play. Each artist at their best, beautifully mastered and pressed. Also Wi...

Would love to see someones top ten in classical vinyl with pressing, studio, gram info attached so I can find them. Classical is hardest for me to know which record is enjoyable and sounds good too.

Johnny Cash at San Quentin is a great piece of History! @tzh21y Gillian Welch- The Harrow and the Harvest, I have this one. Quite good! @fsonicsmith The Wall Us and Japanese pressings were very good

Excellent @slaw  Glad you chimed in. I'm gonna check these out. 
VPI Prime or Scout or ???
As several have said. Align yourself with a local dealer that can help you with set up and some trouble shooting if necessary. Listen to a couple tables and have the dealer bring you up to speed on how vinyl chain works. VERY nice tables can be ha... 
New Technics SL1200gr, anyone taken the leap.
excellent @chakster  hoping you'd chime in. I'm going to look into that cable. Copy that @upstateaudio  regarding the stand.

@upstateaudio I have a GR. I’m about to upgrade my phono pre to the JLTi with external power from Australia, other than that, it sounds damn good! Tell me more upgrading the tonearm cable. I hadn’t considered that. I have the Saec SS-300 alloy mat...
