In Reply to: Please list "audiophile" recordings. posted by Woofer15 on February 24, 2007 at 20:11:45:
It really all started, sort of, kind of, with the quadrophonic stuff. That was sort of like the home theatre 5 channel stuff people listen to today. But, shortly after that, there was a brief window where Direct-To-Disc existed, some of them recorded at 45 RPM on a 12" LP so it would "sound better".After that, MFSL came along, as mentioned earlier with the train sound and the thunderstorms (had them both). So, what it really means, is music recorded on LP that sounds so good that you can sort of/kind of almost imagine that you were there, but you know that's just not possible.
If that live music sound isn't possible, then let's just go for good sound, or as the question asked, Audiophile sound.
Don't bullshit yourself, if you don't like the music, it doesn't matter if it's killer whales or elephant's mating on the Serengati; it has to sound good to you.
One of my favourites, and I think still available as a great bargain is the Umbrella Direct-To-Disc of Rough Trade Live! from 1976.
