Can we list the better labels? Chesky? Telarc?


We all know that there is a lot of difference in the quality of recordings. For example, I've always found that Chesky and Telarc were "better" or more "true" labels. Bluenote seems mixed to me. What say you? Can we develop a list of some of the best music labels (and maybe some of the ones to avoid).

Puntamayo discs usually sound excellent. This is world music and though you may not know what the music is about it sounds great! I never pass up a chance to buy one in the used bins or new! The label features artists from Latin America, North America, Africa, and Asia!
Viridian -- yes, the sonic quality -- the production values, not the musicians.

This is really great as I have not heard of many of these labels. Thanks and keep 'em coming.
"Enya Records" (Germany?) has great music (Rabih Abou Khalil) and great recordings. "In & Out Records" has some great recordings/music as well (Lester Bowie: The fire this time). Harmonia Mundi, Reference Recordings etc. are good as well.

Problem is that I would rather choose good music mediocre recording quality that vice versa.
When I bought my Thiel speakers, they sent a couple of demo discs from "Pope Music." The recording quality was very nice.
