Can we list the better labels? Chesky? Telarc?

We all know that there is a lot of difference in the quality of recordings. For example, I've always found that Chesky and Telarc were "better" or more "true" labels. Bluenote seems mixed to me. What say you? Can we develop a list of some of the best music labels (and maybe some of the ones to avoid).

Chesky is a great match for my Audio Aero Capitole Cd player. Also, for remasters one should get Rhino whenever possible.

When you ask for the "quality" of recordings, are you speaking musically, sonically, or both?

Opus 3

Limited collection, but there seems to be great attention payed to the recording.

Some of the small, boutique labels are good, too, like Sundazed Music, Four Men with Beards, First Impression, and Groove Note.
