I also prefer the London/Decca classicals, my only comment is that I prefer the FFRRs over the FFSSs, but i have found that some prefer one over the other, just have to sample a few for yourself. The Londons are great for a number of reasons, beside the great sound quality, they are also available in a very wide number of recordings, whatever you like is likely on a London!, plus they are common, easy to find, and generally cheap. OA can't go wrong with a London.

EMI, are better yet, but a lot harder to find, and often demand a price premium.

Columbia's have dreadful QC, i advoid them, although they do have some good recordings.

Philips, is another fav of mine.

Other labels, not mentioned and should not be overlooked for less common pieces, i for example like Baroque and earlier music, which is generally not available or popular on the major more common labels. MHS, for example has a lot of good off-the-wall unheard of recordings, often recorded in europe and often very good QC. some MHS LPs are of better quality than the original labels! look for "Bill Kipler - Masterdisk" in small print at the bottom of the back cover, his recordings are excellent!
