Best CDs

I'm new to Audiogon, and know the depth and breadth of the knowledge and experience of the people who post on the Forum, so I apologize for this amateur question.  I'm strictly digital.  I've just upgraded my system with an OPPO 205, Krell Theater 7WD, Krell Foundation 4K, and B & W 804s, 805s, and center speaker.  I've played some CDs (old collection), and they sound awful.  Is there a good brand or brands of CD and/or source that I can rely on for future purchases, or is it more complicated than that.

The OPPO 205 has a digital coax out and your Krell Foundation 4K has digital coax in, are you running it that way? If not definitely give it a try. Not to take away from OPPO but they are not very musical IMHO, blu-ray players were designed for video. I prefer a designated CDP.

Interesting post. Research sites like allmusic or discogs for original releases, it's what I do. Compare an original to the later remaster and decide for yourself. Also, I like MFSL, Audio Fidelity, and some Japanese pressings which I research before purchase.

Looking at your gear, I like what I see with the exception of the OPPO Blu-Ray player being used for CD's.
