Just interested in creating a thread that we could all be involved in similar to the what music are you listening to thread but with a significant difference…
Sound quality.
Not necessarily what you like listening to but albums you feel have been fantastically mastered and recorded and truly sound amazing on your system.
I certainly have stumbled on a couple that just seem to sound so open and dynamic and truly amazing on my system. The first one is…
On those days when I think something is wrong with my system or my ears, this is the album I play to check the system and tune my ears in. So far the problem has always been a dodgy recording, but it’s good to have an album like this for reassurance.
Years ago, during a Naim evening at a local dealers, I asked them to play the track “Am I Wrong” from this album.
Hard, driving blues, with just one guy and an acoustic guitar, but it seemed to cut through the endless Pink Floyd, and was requested several times during the evening.
I’ve used it often, when assessing other folks’ systems.
I recently bought two new re-release Souxsie and the Banshees albums that have been missing from my vinyl collection forever. Great quality pressings and crystal clear sound quality.
