I'm having to sell off my analog front end and records to pay my property taxes. I've advertised to my local audio club but all of those cats are old as me and have all their bases covered already. Some records I've been using for demo purposes and am selling are:
For classical, Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances on Reference Recordings with Eiji Oue conducting the Minnesota Orchestra and a huge recording it is yet with delicate intimacy recorded by Keith Johnson and Karl Orff's Der Mond on Philips for soundstaging with singers appearing all over and beyond the front end of my room. Also, Mark Levinson's Volume One on his own label for vocal purity (choral) and you-are-thereness;
For jazz, "A Night in Tunisia" from Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers on a Philips direct-to-disc recording made in Tokyo in '78 with a sextet for balls-to-the-wall blowing and unfettered dynamics;
And the ladies for vocal purity, Chris Conner Live and an Irene Kral date, Gentle Rain.
I have many albums you can select from should you visit and feel free to bring some of your own. I'm in the Houston area 832-446-7036. Click on "systems" for a break down of my analog front end at present.
