What are the best recordings in your collection?

Toccata by Melbourne Guitar Quartet

"Best" in what regard? In purely sonic quality, it is pretty much any Direct-to-Disc LP. Removing the recorder from the signal path results in a HUGE increase in transparency and resolution.

For non-Direct-to-Disc LP's, the Water Lily label is unsurpassed in sound quality.

jb2455,

I always wonder why posters are looking for others' responses without first, giving their own findings? Just a thought?

Cheers!

I suspect that by "recordings" you mean vinyl. However, since you weren’t specific, I’ll give my opinion of a favorite sounding rock CD that I feel has an uptick in resolution. That would be the "40th Anniversary" edition of Jethro Tull’s classic, "Aqualung." I’ll add that, although I’m not really a jazz fan, I recently bought an Ella Fitzgerald CD that was very well recorded and has me thinking that I may be missing something.
