What is the best sound CD label? One of the best is for me Reference recordings.

Telarc/Teldec usually give detailed info in the liner notes on the recording equipment, mics, preamps, cables, speakers, and the venue - this makes me think that they have some audiophiles on staff. One of their CDs even has an apology for the fact that it was recorded on a warm day, which meant the airconditioner had to be on, resulting in some nearly-undetectable background hum! The vintage RCA Red Seal or RCA Living Stereo recordings generally sound really, really nice. |
