Great Mastering Houses in Bay Area??

Hello everyone. I'm at the point where i'm ready to master my project (hip-hop) & am hoping you guys can steer me in the right direction. I'm looking to achieve a nice big, warm sound ... thanks in advance.

Ken Lee mastering in Oakland is great.
Paul Stubblebine mastering in SF is Great.

I can second Paul Stubblebine. Don't know Ken. Mark Wilshire's done some great work for me. He might be around now that Lord of The Rings is finished. Also George Horn at Fantasy, if he's still around.

Ken Lee was the busiest mastering engineer in town when I left five years ago.

Ken Lee has been one of the bay areas best hip-hop mastering engineers. I've watched him and Paul Stubblebine work and they are both very talented and professional.

I've seen both Paul and Ken at the Plant from time to time but they both have their own places. Paul has a new studio on Mission street that is very nice.

Update - I just finished mastering my album with Ken Lee & so far am impressed. Very balanced, warm & punchy with a good overall level ... thanks for the recommendations.
