Audiophile Record Labels


Hello All,
I'm sure this has been discussed but my search results came up nil.
I'm aware of Chesky Records and Mapleshade, but are there other labels that specialize in top quality recording techniques?

Thanks

You may find that The original Janus Lable , Japan/OBI pressings to be of high quality. I don't have any, so I have no evaluation of there sound, but If interested, you would probably be able to find some info on the net.

I was looking at Discogs, and found that there are a hundred different versions of Year of the Cat

Also there is a Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs pressing of Year of the Cat (out of print)

Some great suggestions, but one or two I would add. Firstly, on the grounds of the music itself, the German label, Stockfisch. Great recording technique, but great artists, Sara K, David Munyon, amongst them. The Sara K recording "Waterfall", is one of my all time favourites for the recording quality and the music. The next suggestion is Proprius, I don't
 think anyone has mentioned it, good recording and good music.


 So many labels have great recordings, but of noodling Jazz combos, etc. What you might classify as Elevator Music, sorry Naim, I mean you.

The Sound Liaison label is one of the best sounding younger labels.
Very impressive sound quality, reminds me a bit of reference records in but maybe with an even better sense of placement.
 Highly recommended.
