Name a couple of HOLY GRAIL LPs

Ricky Lee Jones "Pop Pop"

IMHO, my best sounding record is Bill Berry's album entitled For Duke by M&K recordings, which is recorded direct to disc. The first song, Take the A Train is a knockout. Definitely worth checking out. Also, the Harry James album The King James Version by Sheffield Labs is another awesome direct-to-disc recording worth listening to.

Dave Grusin's GRP All-Stars "Mountain Dance"
Al Stewart "Year Of The Cat" Mo-Fi
Telarc "1812 Overture" - better have a GREAT tracking cartridge when those cannons go off
Poco "Legend" Mo-Fi
Dan Fogelberg/Tim Weisberg "Twin Sons of Different Mothers"
Tim Weisberg "Tip of the Weisberg"
Grateful Dead "Terrapin Station" and "American Beauty"

One of the best-sounding LP's I have heard is the Weather Report LP, the one with the red letters on a blue background. Fantastic dynamic range, especially in the bass, and a gigantic soundstage.

Buckingham and Nicks is a very good LP that is well recorded and excellent sound stage. Dark Side of the Moon from Floyd, Dr John Night Tripper, Dan Fogelberg/Tim Weisberg--Twin Sons of different mothers, and the list could go on and on. Great thread
