Got this on MFSL vinyl for Christmas. Listened to it once yesterday and twice today.
Get it now.
If this album doesn't convince you, in spades, of the seductive sound of vinyl...nothing will.

Alison's voice is to die for...
She did a "Soundstage" (PBS) with Union Station that was very, very good.
One great thing about MFSL vinyl is that it actually improves with play.More later,

Her recordings are highly regarded in the car audio SQ world. Ive heard of more than one champion claiming to have tuned his system solely to Allison Krauss recordings.
I was always partial to Rebecca Pidgeon myself tho.polkaudio sound quality competitor since 2005

I'll back that up. Acoustic instruments on this, as well as her voice, really shine.
Serious weight and dimension throughout. -

Don't know why but the above made me laugh.
Umm...signing off before I get myself in trouble about vinyl.
But, I do love Alisson Kraus. Just like her on quiet, non-popping, non-scratchy, digital sound.Holydoc (Home Theatre Lover)

My records don't pop, scratch, or make noise. That, and without the compression on cd? Gold Jerry.
Now, make it more convenient, and easier to use and I'll never buy a cd again. I won't lie vinyl is work, but sometimes it's worth it.

Vinyl ain't for everyone.
THIS album is as clean and quiet as any CD you care to produce.
If your vinyl is clicking and poping and sounds scratchy, your stylus needs to be cleaned and your vinyl needs to be cleaned and handled properly.
Vinyl is currently the fastest growing segment in terms of sales of hard copy music. There is more stuff being put out on vinyl than there is in SACD/DVD-A/Dual Disc or whatever other format.

My latest find was a 5 record VOX recording set of all the Beethoven piano concerto's. He wrote these over a span of thirteen years and include his first known piece. Features Meta on the violin, the records are pristine and were had for 3.85 from the local GW.

Get yourself a decent TT, arm, cartridge and cleaning supplies. Then get your learn on. Since SACD is headed to the niche market it's real competition now is vinyl, there is a reason for that.
