High quality CDs

Sounds more like you are dropping bits from the data stream. Good digital cables and a good source are a must. I find this to be a problem all to often.

Elusive disc did have a good sale on First Impression CDs level for $14.99 , LIM label is as good, For my taste this will compete with SACDs, The pure perfection series are even amazing, FIM has Decca box cd, wait when it go on sale. It goes 50% off. I have collected FIM and LIm label.This are Winston’s Ma collections works..

In defense of Chesky... They have a free hi res sampler down load at HD Tracks that has some classical tracks and sounds amazing on high end headphones.  Not classical but their binaural church recordings are ear candy, e.g. Amber Rubarth.

I don’t have a $hit load of Chesky discs (as opposed to MFSL & DCC of which I do own a $hit-load of), but I can think of a couple that I own that sound quite nice:

Rebecca Pigeon/The Raven and I have a Sarah K CD (that I cannot think of the title of at the moment) that sounds excellent.

If you are also interested in relatively old recordings with a good new processing and a good CD manufacturing process, try CD Japan
