Best Recording Label

Don't know if these qualify a "true" labels but I've had good luck with Mobile Fidelity, Audioquest, and Denon. I've got a Japanese Denon label version of Enya's Watermark that is far superior to the US release. As far as "true" record labels go, Telarc has some great classical & jazz recordings.

I like the original Mobile Fidelity recordings with the pure Japanese Vinyl and Stan Ricker doing the mastering. I think Classic is doing some wonderful things with vinyl also.

Mapleshade, Three Blind Mice Recordings, ECM, Audioquest, Analogue Productions, Telarc.

MFSL for Jazz and rock, Blind Pig for R & B; Telarc for Classical; Sony Gold and DCC for pop.
