Try audiophile websites like Elusive Disc or Acoustic Sounds; there are a number of these and they specialize in great sounding, well-mastered recordings.

+1, @larsman Add NativeDSD to your list if you’re into downloads. |
Another great one to check out for vinyl is Vinyl Me Please - they have some really awesome exclusive content, like this big box set of Miles Davis-The Electric Years, a beautiful package which has remastered versions of his studio albums from 'In A Silent Way' through 'Get Up With It', and these sound superb - right up there with the MoFi Master Discs and many find them preferable to the MoFi. They're already sold out (made only 2000), but last time I looked there was a wait list for them. |
It’s never a good sign when a music lovers conclusion is most music is not recorded very well. Time to learn to appreciate recorded music better or maybe find another hobby.
on the other hand it’s common for an audiophile to make that claim because most music fails to meet their standard for good sound for either objective and/or more subjective reasons. A better hifi cannot make music that is poorly done sound the way they wish it would. It’s all a losing proposition
Better for all to accept each recording for what it is: a unique work of art. Each will sound somewhat different. The rational goal is to be able to hear whatever is there that the artist and producers intended then either like it or not. There is no rule that says all works of art must be technically perfect Where would impressionist artists like Monet be if that were the case?
