Better Quality CD's

I want to update my CD collection to better quality CD's than what you would find at Best Buy etc. Any suggestions?

They are all the same. There are the occassional collector CDs made from other materials like gold, but not for the mass market.

But that's classical. What do you listen to?

Mine is rather eclectic, so I'll recommend two labels I enjoy. Acoustic Disc and MA Recordings. They are both painstakingly recorded and offer outstanding sonic quality.
