Apparently number 1 of the best mastered albums of the 21st century... https://www.headphonesty.com/2025/05...SGBWJjbfDxc5mg
The only ones on that list that would interest me are nos. 3, 6 - 9, and 11.
I will certainly check out some of those on the list that I don't know. I am not sure i would agree with such a limited list. Currently listening to this:Quote:

And whilst in my opinion it is a great album, though far from their best, the mastering and production is incredible on some tracks.
While the mastering quality and dynamic range, as well as several 'hifi' atributes may be measurable and beyond dispute, it won't be a 'one size fits all'. Everyone's hearing and priorities differ, and certain albums will will play better to a particular system's strengths better than others.
Of the list I would be interested in the Pat Metheny, Donald Fagen and Hans Zimmer ones, and Yello 'Point has been on my radar for some time. I already have seven of the albums listed, not all of which get much play - good SQ is of no consequence if the music doesn't do it for you.
There's only 4 that interest me musically, and I have them already.Quote:
