Re: whats the best sounding (enginered) record you own? nt.

I can't say which one is the best. I have a handfull that no question sound superb. There's a couple Micheal Franks discs (don't hear much about him around here) that are extremely clean and clear. I have a few instances where a single song on a record is the tops. One that comes to mind is ZZ Top's Blue Jean Blues on Fandango. That song is amazing in it clarity and soundstage. The rest of the record is ho-hum. My Pat Metheny's sound great, I have pretty much all of them up to Travels. Alan Parsons Eye in the Sky is sweet. All of these records are the regular pressings, since I only shop out of the $.99 bins, with the occasional $4.99 foray. Can't say that I have any "audiophile" pressings, but then again you occasionally hear about the hot highs and bloated bass on those things, so I'm not sure I'm missing too much. Now that I think about it....I also have Chuck Mangione's Quartet from '72. The jacket is falling apart and the sleeve ain't much better, but somehow the record makes me stop what I'm doing and just sit there and listen. Between the cracks and pops, the instruments are just "there".
