It does have Dusty Springfields "The Look of Love" at least.

Either the list is old, or sound quality declined as time went by.Originally posted by Metamatic View PostMagnepan 1.6 QR Loudspeakers, Amherst A-2000 MOSFET 150 WPC Amp, Conrad Johnson PV-10A Modded Tube Line & Phono Stage, Electrocompaniet MC II Class A Head Amp, Audio Technica AT-OC9XML Cart (Stereo) , Graham Engineering 2.2 Tonearm (Stereo) , VPI Aries-1 Turntable (Stereo) , VPI Clamp, Denon DL-102 Cart, (Mono) , Luxman Tonearm (Mono) , Kenwood KD-500 Turntable (Mono) , Michell Clamp, Marantz 20B Analog FM Tuner, Pioneer SACD, Onkyo DX-6800 CD Transport, DIY 24B/192K DAC, Sennheiser HD-650 Headphones, Headroom Max Balanced Headphone Amp, DIY Silver InterconnectsComment

There sure are two PF albums on the list. Always have been.Originally posted by Rob View Post
Beatles? Seriously? The list is about sound and the Beatles albums are mediocre to average at best sonically. Even for rock albums that in general have to be graded on a different curve than say jazz or classical recordings.Myles B. Astor, PhD, Administrator

how many of the revisions on the 2016 list were by HPs hand not the other editors? I just took a good long look and its a way different list than from TAS' heydays. BTW, johnny thanks for posting the link as I haven seen this nor have I subscribed to TAS in a decade. -
Valin says in the intro that 200 new albums from his and the other editor's hands make up the new list. To be fair, other writers had some input into HP's old list. Ed Mendelsohn for instance. I think there's five or six albums on the list that I turned HP onto. But HP always had final say as to what was on his list.

Did you look through the whole list Shane? There might not be much since 2000 but there are most certainly plenty of recordings from the 80s and 90s. Maybe it's more a statement that recording quality has gone in the dumpster since the '70s?Originally posted by Metamatic View Post

My biggest issue is they should have left Harry's list alone and started their own. Truthfully there's some albums on there that don't belong and Harry would have never included them. Columbia? CBS Masterworks? And a few others.Originally posted by Johnny Vinyl View PostMyles B. Astor, PhD, Administrator

Well, I did have a complete collection of the TAS SuperDiscs (until now). I'll have to see what the additions are. At first glance I have a number of them, but there are a lot of albums I've never heard of. Also it looks like ORG Decca reissues have replaced many/most of the original Deccas on the list. Anyway, I'll take a closer look.

Ah. Never got to page 2. I was just commenting on the best of popular which stops at 1973.Originally posted by MylesBAstor View Post

Yes at least a few more modern titles on page 2.

I think though, people are missing the point of the article! An editor (hell I did it with Ultimate Audio) publishes a 10 Best all-time amplifiers or speakers, 500 best albums, 100 best rock groups, 25 best guitarists not so much to be perfect but to still up discussion and controversy. Perhaps readers even write in and suggest albums they think belong on this list. I'd say TAS succeeded by the discussion in this thread!

Out of the whole list, I have 22 titles and a couple of them I wouldn't buy over again. I do like Reference Recordings, partially from the nostalgia of seeing the old Minneapolis Symphony when I was young seemingly forever ago. And of course I have DSOTM (multiple pressings). Regardless of the quality of the recording, if the music doesn't speak to me in some way it doesn't matter.
One thing I do notice is that there are deletions from HPs last list which I think are unfortunate.Comment
