As a wise man once said “You don’t get something for nothing / You don’t get freedom for free”

A few of my favorite classics:

• Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
• Opeth - Blackwater Park
• Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
• Yes - Close To The Edge
• Supertramp - Crime of the Century
• Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky
• Genesis - Duke
• Nektar - Remember The Future
• Camel - Moonmadness

And for newer stuff, I’d go with Anno Domini High Definition by Riverside and English Electric by Big Big Train

You don’t really need more than CD quality 44.1kHz/ 16 bit uncompressed audio. At that point the mix is more important. I try to go for early pressing of CDs and vinyl because I find most remasters are overly compressed and de noised, which sucks the life out the music.

But for new albums, I been liking SDEs reissue series on Blu Ray Audio, almost all of them have the best new stereo mixes I’ve heard of the albums they released and have Atmos mixes, if your interested in spacial audio. Apple Music has many of those albums, but they are compressed, even the Atmos versions.
