Pretentious winos w/ expensive tastes often get razzed for being label drinkers. I try not to be a label listener, but when (pretentiously) going through the racks or browsing online, seeing one of these labels will make me spazz out for a second: ECM Intakt Ambience Magnetiques Intuition Tzadik Cryptogramophone Avant Knitting Factory Unit Cuneiform Ramboy Justin Time 9Winds Love Slave Omni Tone Harmonia Mundi CIMP Ellipsis Arts JMT Altri Suoni Delmark CMP Winter&Winter Thirsty Ear Spool MArecordings Music and Arts Enja Hat Buzz Counter Currents Soul Note Accurate Atavistic Sub Rosa Not saying that everything on one of these labels is a keeper, but most titles are an interesting listen and very well recorded.
I've been listening to various Proprius(ous?) recordings while auditioning speakers and have found them to be of unvarying high quality. Also, CALA recordings seem quite well made to me, as do ECM. Finally, I recently found a recording by Teldec (Scheherezade, Masur/NYP) that was very well recorded.
