I like to pinch.
Putting in a wholehearted recommendation for the Mandelring Quartet. They've been fairly prolific over the last decade or so, putting out the entire Shostakovich cycle, the entire Mendelssohn cycle (plus all of his other string chamber works like the Octet), both Janaceks, a healthy dose of Schubert and Brahms, and a recording of the Schumann Piano Quintet and Quartet that are basically the new reference recording for me. Whoever they have running the sound booth for all of their recordings is a wizard; the clarity of these recordings is rarely paralleled and I've heard new things in pieces I've thought I knew back to front.
