I'm a bit of a fan of MoFi releases which in the main cover my first two requirements, they're flat and quiet. Mastering is if course subjective but none of the 36 lps or sacds have caused me the recoil in horror. Artists include Dylan(several)Santana, Allman Bros, Dead can Dance , Big Brother/Joplin, Elvis Costello, Jefferson Airplane , Tom Waitts and Richard Thompson. Their vinyl release of Dave Alvins Blackjack David is audiophile test quality any time. It probably helps that I have no interest in sacred cows like the Beatles so whatever liberties they have taken there passes me right by. I know there's pushback against reissues in some quarters, some times it would almost appear on principle but I've never been of a mind to sit and anylise multiple copies of each recording in forensic detail. My biggest issue with MoFi is their pricing and I can't pretend to be a huge fan of the 45rpm format which often offers very marginal benefits.

I only have about half a dozen MoFi releases and in particular Ryan Adams sound great.

I have only a few & have not been inclined to go for any more after being disappointed with Blood on the Tracks last time.
