CD? j/k. This is one of my true reference recordings. Sonny Rollins Way Out West. Recorded by Roy DuNann, so really any CD or LP will sound good, but this one is mastered by Steve Hoffman/Kevin Gray and pressed on 45 rpm vinyl so it just kills. I feel fortunate to own nearly all the 45 rpm reissues on Contemporary/Prestige/Blue Note.

Do you have "The Poll Winners" on 45RPM?

I played it a few nights ago on my SR-Omega which are brutal on any noise.I do have The Poll Winners, but frankly find the music too boring. I with the few Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor albums on Contemporary were remastered by SH/KG. Instead Acoustic Sounds as usual plays it safe /rant off.

Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section is also one of my favorites as is Art Pepper + Eleven. It took me forever to restore "Art Pepper - ...The Way It Was!". My version beats the living hell out of the MFSL SACD.Are you backing up your vinyl 45RPM's?

I'm also looking for a non delta-sigma ADC that doesn't break the bank, but this quest hasn't been too successful.
