It's not just limited to audio recording, i.e. recordings made on audiophile record labels, but to recordings made for any record label that have become the darlings of the audiophile crowd, e.g. those dreadful HP Super Disc Lists.

Mnyb I know that you are Swedish and must defend your homeland but come on, Jazz at the Pawn Shop is not all that good.

If you want this idea to fly in the audiophile community you would be better served calling it a music distribution center.
