00:10And these 5 pressings pass it.
00:12I went digging for the best deals on Top 5 Music CD Albums for Audiophiles,
00:17and honestly, the prices here surprised me.
00:20Let's go.
00:22First up, the one that still gives me chills,
00:24the Disco Elysium soundtrack from British Sea Power, two discs of it.
00:27What makes it special isn't just the music, it's how quiet the quiet parts are.
00:33Horns bloom out of silence.
00:35That's a real test of oppressing, and this one nails it.
00:401492, nearly 5,000 sold, 5 stars.
00:44For the price of a coffee and a half, it's a no-brainer.
00:48Number 2, Boney M and the Rivers of Babylon Collection,
00:51Pure Party Fuel, Complete Greatest Hits
00:54Here's the thing, this is bass you feel in your chest, not just here.
00:59Big, warm, 70s low-end that makes cheap speakers sound expensive.
01:0423-21, over 4,800 sold, 5 stars across the board.
01:09If you own one disc for a dinner party, make it this one.
01:13Third, Richard Carpenter's Greatest Hits, Yesterday Once More, 3 Discs.
01:17The draw here is the vocals.
01:20Close-miked, layered harmonies, and this pressing keeps them separated
01:24instead of smearing them into one blob.
01:26You hear every breath.
01:2921-65, 4,700 sold, sitting at 4.9.
01:34Perfect late-night listen when you want the system to disappear.
01:38Number 4, Linkin Park's Greatest Hits, Timeless Complete Collection.
01:43Audiophile snobs skip this one, their loss.
01:46The dynamics are enormous.
01:49Soft-verse, wall-of-guitar chorus, and a good CD copy handles that jump without going harsh.
01:54That's hard to do.
01:5720-37, 4,700 sold, 5 stars.
02:01It's the best stress test for a system you'll find under 25 bucks.
