What's your favorite Audiophile label, and why?

There are a bunch of people doing great releases or reissues. Some of them I have liked quite a bit, others I haven't been too impressed.

Rather than pick on anyone, I will say I really like everything I got from Simply Vinyl, and I have quite a few. The new MFSL stuff sounds a lot better than the old releases. SOme of the new Living Stereo SACDs sound awfully good. I bought three of them in the last couple of weeks.

What do you like, and why?

I heard a bunch of Mosaic 45s over the weekend and honestly I have a hard time believing there is anything better available. They really suck though, so don't buy any!

Viridian, most of the early MSFL releases I have were mastered by Ricker (mastered is appropo here). In Stan we Trust...

Yes, there is such a difference. I am in complete agreement with your assesment. Some of the records chosen were really weird, but Ricker's work was just stellar. It's a shame that so many of the Giorgi remasters have such badly skewed frequency response.

ECM. It never disappoints. Kind of like buying a Hersey Bar. you always know you're going to get something good (and more likely interesting).

There are so many... As of recently it has to be Chad's Analogue Productions' 45rpm jazz vinyl reissues. I am receiving these monthly and my press number is in the double digits.
The sound is some of the best of all time. Very dynamic, nice quiet vinyl, and they were mastered right and cut on tube gear. Beautiful stuff. Cheers!
