I suppose the biggest vote will be most Female artists where the mid range is purposley made to sound {lets say attractive to the lug holes} this is pretty much why people buy a lot of female solo LP's it makes their stereo's sound better :D

I think Solid Air by John Martyn sounds better on vinyl. There is actually more "air".

Despite being fairly supporting of digital and high res etc, let's face it a lot sounds better on vinyl - more stage depth and air in general, more "richness" even if it is might be artificial via noise etc, who cares..

I agree I think the noise acts as dither and adds the "air". What you need is a really shitty triode valve based output stage to give digital a decent chance:D

Half tongue in cheek half serious post there me hearties:)

I don't think you can beat the SQ from 12" singles ;)

Or of course special albums with some sides done at 45. e.g. Aphex Twin Druqs

Katie Melua: Secret Symphony
Stan Getz & Astrid Gilberto: The Girl from Ipanema
Regina Spektor: Fidelity
Jennifer Warnes:The Hunter
Lana Del Rey: Video Games

These all sound fabulous on vinyl, though the digital version are good too.

Deadpan Tractor: Big Eyed Beans from Venus (12" single)

Don't think they lived long enough to make it to digital though :lol:
