I often go by labels.
50’s and 60’s RCA records, especially Chet Atkins, sound great.
60’s and 70’s Electra Records sounds pretty good, too.
And Rounder Records stuff sounds excellent as well.
I would also add that legacy artists like Dylan, Young, Petty, and Mellencamp care a lot about sound quality, and virtually everything they put out has great sound; I wish the same could be said of Springsteen.
