Best quality sounding cds on the market that are not HD

[BigMac]

What cd do you think is worthy? I know this can be interpreted in many ways and that is what I am hoping for. The more suggeestions there are the better this thread will be. Or better yet, you can even not like the artist, just love the way the disc sounds. It can be a particular maker, band, demo cd disc, company that offers their own take on what a cd should sound like, etc. In no particular order here are a few of my choices.....

MFSL
Chesky Records
Telarc Sound
BIS recordings
FIM Recordings

[Ern Dog]

Concord
Reference Recordings- These are mostly all HDCD. Breath taking resolution and dynamics.

Planet six productions and recordings AB. AND Stockholm records.I have several CDs from these companys and there the best recordings Ive heard....so far.

Anything post 1999 from Steely Dan or Donald Fagen.

Sound quality is rich and full.

I just bought a used self titled Keb Mo red book cd and it sound pretty F'n good. Reference F'n good for my system. YMMV

I just broke out 4 cds from the FIM super sound collection. I had forgotten how good these cds sound. Now to locate the rest of my MFSL stuff, that box has to be around here somewhere. Nice to be off all day and to have some uninterrupted time to listen to this. Usually have 2 kids and a wife telling me to turn it down,lol.:eek:

DCC Gold cd's mastered by Steve Hoffman are my favorites. They ALL sound fantastic.

Any album on the ECM label is aweome in quality. I think Manfred Eichman has produced just about every album on the label.
