There are following label that have great quality but unfortunately not like vinyl:
CMP even early ones sound great, Concord Jazz, ECM, Nonesuch...
Make sure to get original and non-club versions.
Also some of the experimental and small record companies such as Crammed.
I also figured that eropean versions of CD sound much better than US(probably due to the pressing quality i.e. less flimsy, thicker...)
Epic-Japan, EMI-Japan are superb.
For the experimental stuff I buy anything that is on Avan-Japan.
Chesky label solely oriented on sound and spirit of a voice and/or instrument but not the music... Sounds superb though.
Patricia Barber's last albums recorded too bass-y where acoustic bass so-loved by all audiophiles dominates even over her ehem... voice.
In general I want to point out that MUSIC is the ONLY thing that should be considered during recording and NOT the sound of instrument and/or voice.
