Forget musical merit. What is the best-sounding disc you have in your collection?

Let's focus on sound for this week. (We'll zero-in on the music next week.) When you want to hear how good a recording can sound, what do you go for? Forget musical merit. What is the best-sounding disc you have in your collection?

New Werd!

Since there are, at this time, 888 threads in the general rants and raves area, I thought that this lucky number required a bit of internet self reflection. Which can be part and parcel of this hopefully humorous problem.

Now for the word, which will henceforth become part of the lexicon of the internet forums, as humor does get around the world quite fast.

We will have to define it properly, so it stands a chance. I will start with some obvious variations.

Classical music for vinyl collectors

Searching the net for some obscure recordings, I stumbled across this appropriately named Canadian site: http://www.mikrokosmos.com/index.html.

It's a site that sells used LPs and 78s, with some of the titles looking quite tempting. The full catalog is a 66 page, single-spaced Word document with nearly 4000 titles for March.

I'm not a vinyl guy, but this may help nudge me toward getting a cheap turntable.
