Just curious to know what some of your favorite sounding vinyl is.
I have a tough time buying a record if the sound isn't great. I only have a fairly small collection but some of the records I have that sound great are:
Neil Young - Massey Hall
New Zeppelin releases
Van Morrison - Moondance
PJ - Riot Act, No Code, & Lost Dogs
Springsteen - Nebraska

    I just splurged for Analogue Productions' Tea for the Tillerman remaster. Transfer done from the original tapes, pressed on two 45RPM vinyl - it's like hearing this masterpiece for the first time again. The detail in everything, the rasp in Cat Stevens' voice, the sound of the guitar pick hitting the strings... you close your eyes, and feel like you're in the same room as him.

    All of Joseph Arthur's albums are probably my best sounding records. He always does a bang up job with his vinyl.

    The newish Series 2 boxset containing Zuma, On the Beach, Tonight's the Night, and Time Fades Away, from Neil Young is also great. They're remastered from the original studio recordings, and all sound fantastic.
