Klipschguy Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 What do you all consider to be a five star album, where most every song is very good or excellent, AND the recording is audiophile quality as well? I'll start: Band On The Run, Paul McCartney, released 1973 (This recording is good enough to demo your system.) There are certainly others, but this album came to mind first. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipschguy Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Great replies so far! I want to broaden the horizons of my LP collection, so thank you for your help (I tend to trust the ears on this forum). BTW, I am listening to Chet Atkins in Hollywood on YouTube - fantastic!

BBurgDave Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I don't know what "the recording is Audiophile quality" means, nor am I qualified to answer that, but Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon gets my vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_kc Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos | Danish NSO Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 1–9 Joaquín Rodrigo: Concierto de Aranjuez Hector Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14 Richard Strauss: Eine Alpensinfonie (An Alpine Symphony), Op. 64, TrV 233 Audio options: • PCM Stereo • DTS-HD MA 5.0 Video: 1080p Excellent performances. State-of-the-art Blu-ray audio and video quality. ----------------------------- Jean Sibelius: Complete Symphonies Audio options: • PCM Stereo • DTS-HD MA 5.1 Video: 1080i Excellent performances. State-of-the-art Blu-ray audio and video quality. -------------------------- Tchaikovsky, The Complete Symphonies Audio options: • PCM Stereo • DTS-HD MA 5.1 Excellent performances. State-of-the-art Blu-ray audio and video quality. ----------------------- I also have Blu-ray audio/video box sets of symphonies by Brahms, Bruckner, Schumann, and Mahler. Plus numerous other classical concerts on Blu-ray. Plus numerous modern opera and ballet audio/video recordings on Blu-ray. And a few in Ultra HD Blu-ray. (Plus many excellent quality audio-only surround-sound recordings on SACD, and Pure Audio Blu-ray.) After experiencing modern audio/video concert recordings that feature high-def video, and hi-res audio featuring surround-sound (played via my vintage tube amps, Klipsch RF-7II speakers, plus 2 powered subwoofers), I greatly prefer this to listening to CDs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
