RE: Deutsche Gramophone LP records sound quality

For me, DG did some of the best-sounding classical LPs ever. However, I have to agree with the poster who criticized Karajan's recordings, especially the later ones, as over produced. Also, the Philharmonie (built in 1963) does not seem to be the best recording venue imho. Karajan's most praised Beethoven cycle is the first one, and only one completed before the Philharmonie opened.

Try the DG Boston Symphony Chamber Players LPs, for example. Also, David Atherton's Kurt Weill LP with the London Sinfonietta. Those are considered "audiophile" by some pundits. Or some of the Bohm / Vienna Philharmonic LPs. Or the Amadeus String Quartet.
