I wish I could demo and A/B tons of gear but it's just not possible. I appreciate the quest to maintain flat transfers, but that doesn't mean it sounds the best to me. As I've read over and over when researching headphones.you like what you like. I won't argue whether clipping is bad loudness ruins a song EQ'ing during mastering is heresy, etc. Many of the albums below may have two versions.one considered "reference", one I think sounds discernibly different and like better. If it sounded good, I like it, regardless of what the graphs said. While finding DR values, loudness, etc, it wasn't the main guide. My quest wasn't for the perfectly flat or studio sound, although I did enjoy hearing it when I came across it and many of the recordings below satisfy that requirement.

I don't listen to country, jazz, or classical, so you won't find any of those included here. If not another eyeball but my own sees this list - totally fine, it's served as my own database of sorts.įirst, about me. Hopefully someone in my shoes 5 years ago stumbles across it and it saves them some time. Combing this forum there's a ton of disparate information and deep-dives on specific artists or albums, but I found it difficult to find a "master" list of recordings that would serve as a (relatively) all-includive starting point. Figured I'd repay some of that debt by posting a combination of what I find to be the best recordings/masterings, as well as if there generally accepted best versions based on what I've read.

Have loved music my entire life but over the past several years have dived into the rabbit hole of the quest for "audiophile" recordings.
