Article FYI: Top 50 Audiophile Albums to Show Off Your Systems, Ranked by Dynamic Range and Mastering Quality

While I suspect that their methodology may be a bit suspect, I like the fact that they recommend specific pressings.

Just don't know (personally) where to find a list of albums with measured DR rankings, although it seems to me that I've seen that before. If anyone has a good source, please share it.

Spoiler

Would have never guessed that Neil Young's Harvest would have made this list. Guess maybe because most of my listens were via cassette or 8-track most likely. LOL!!

You can use Audacity to look at the waveforms of the track to see if they have been "brickwalled" or still retain a semblance of dynamic range.
