Like most people who spend a lot of money on their audio equipment, I want to get the most out of it. Also like most people here, I can tell a poorly mastered digital source when I hear one. I'm wondering if there are any labels, studios, etc. that are known for consistently producing well-mastered CDs that are closely faithful (i.e., high fidelity!) to the original performance. I haven't been able to pick up any noticeable pattern in my relatively small collection of CDs.

If anyone here appreciates the value of great music you might want to check out the new dvd set of Rush! They are an amazing band! I've grown up with their music and they have got to be one of best bands out there. I just got the dvd set from a friend at umvd and the quality is amazing! All shot in hi-def. tv, the sets have the live concert in Frankfurt and some of their classic concert footage from the 70's! Check it out if you're interested and let me know what you think,
