man, where have you been over the last 10 years. some of the stuff being mastered and pressed nowadays makes MFSL look second rate. There some old and new names today pressing both new and old music and it's all really fabulous if a little pricey at about 30 bucks a pop

[Glen B]

Add Audioquest Music to the list as a producer of audiophile recordings. BTW, in the original post I understood "audiophile record companies" to mean producers of recordings, not retailers. Acoustic Sounds is really not an "audiophile record company" but a high-end retailer of equipment and audiophile recordings.

Good point!
I imagine that if we start included every single retailer that the list would get pretty big, pretty fast.

[wkhanna]

I would like add another one.....
Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild http://www.mcgjazz.org/

[Russ L]

there's a bunch of others including Warner brothers which has been releasing some amazing LP's lately. You can find them all here http://store.acousticsounds.com/

Over 500 Warner Bros. LPs listed at this store alone. Is the long playing record making a comeback? Maybe its time to invest in a Rega P3-24 turntable. -Russ

Found another. Repertoire Records. Based in Europe. Remastered Rick Derringer's "All-American Boy". As you know its a Rock Classic. Will order and check their sound quality.

Here's an interesting one for you, Kharma the company that made my speakers have a produced a few CDs and SACDs and are available here

Quality is fab and there are a few gems there....

STS Digital

I just came across this Holland Co. Google on STS Digital. I listened to their samples. The "high end audiophile test demo SACD", ones are unbeliveable on my computer little speakers where the sound is usually low quality. I'm checking pricing with their only USA dealer in Ca.

I've got that disk. In fact I've got all their disks. My favourite, I think is the '4 Sax Only' from l'imprevu. The demo SACD is great and is the SACD I use to demo to friend but I sometimes listen to it on its own... Worth $20.

[zmanbands]

Where did you buy the STS Digitals?

Hi Vincent. Where did you buy them and are they $20 each?

[Alloroc]

Hi Vincent. Where did you buy them and are they $20 each?

Well to be fair, I didn't buy them. I own a pair of Kharma's and I got them directly from Kharma.

You can buy them from the link below. They're all about $20 each.
