Apropos of nothing -- I was given a copy of a disc (of the polycarbonate, Redbook kind) by a fellow-hifi-traveller that is remarkably good sounding. Remarkable in the sense that it has a sense of space and spaciousness that suggests not only careful recording but also extremely judicious use of compression and any of those other seasonings that are de rigueur in most virtually all 'commercial' recordings/albums.

Give a listen to the track When the Hurt is Over.
Heck, it's on "Amazon Prime Music" so you can even try before you buy (at some level of quality -- who knows which?)
Full disclosure: I guess this was an "audiophile release" from Audioquest, of all folks.
It checks the audiophile boxes, I will say that.
