High quality recordings any genre


I like all kinds of music, so give me some suggestions on some high quality recordings you listen too. I find a lot of music is poorly recorded. When you get a high quality recording listening is so much more pleasurable.

Try audiophile websites like Elusive Disc or Acoustic Sounds; there are a number of these and they specialize in great sounding, well-mastered recordings.

Another great one to check out for vinyl is Vinyl Me Please - they have some really awesome exclusive content, like this big box set of Miles Davis-The Electric Years, a beautiful package which has remastered versions of his studio albums from 'In A Silent Way' through 'Get Up With It', and these sound superb - right up there with the MoFi Master Discs and many find them preferable to the MoFi. They're already sold out (made only 2000), but last time I looked there was a wait list for them. 

@normb - I've got the Steely Dan 'Aja' UHQR, and yes, if it's an album you're a fan of and you want to hear it the best you will be able to outside of a reel-to-reel, and you don't mind paying $150 to do so, I and many others would say 'Yes, it's worth it'. But I'd also recommend double-45's that are not UHQR with fancy packaging and cost about half as much...
