Sledgehammer Blues is an American independent record label owned by Valley Entertainment, that was formerly named AudioQuest Music.
From the label's website, “The blues label was founded in the late 1980s with the mission to create the highest standard audiophile recordings based on the technology available. These are analog recordings using custom built tube electronics and eschewing noise reduction, compression, equalization or sound limiters. By recording the most proficient artists available at the highest possible standards, these recordings have been adapted to every subsequent audiophile platform-XRCD, SACD, etc.” [1]
