Check out Mapleshade Recordings. They have a really unique recording philosophy and are known for their audiophile grade recordings (mapleshaderecords.com) However, I find the performances just OK.
Who sells high quality audiophile CD’s?
I have CD’s from Chesky Records and Reference Recordings and enjoy them very much. For example, the Chesky Records "SWING LIVE" with Bucky Pizzarelli (SACD223, CHDVD222))is an outstanding recording. What other companies produce high quality audiophile CD’s? Thanks

There's lots of labels that produce CDs much better than the typical major label sonics. Check out Elusive Disc's website. They sell most of the good ones and have great service. Some of my favs are on JVC XRCDs. Cisco is another good label. Although hard to find, it's hard to beat the sound of most on the DCC label, mastered by Steve Hoffman. Cheers, Spencer |
If you enjoy world music, in particular Chinese music, I would recommend the offerings from FIM (First Impression Music). The owner, Winston MA, is an audiophile with a wonderful system and dedicated listening room. Many of the best recordings are also available in vinyl. I would also second the Water Lily Acoustics suggestion above. Kavi Alexander produces minimalist recordings that capture acoustic instruments with a standard 2 microphone array into custom analog recording decks. Online, these recordings can be purchased from: http://www.elusivedisc.com http://www.acousticsounds.com http://www.amusicdirect.com |
