Best Audiophile Album in terms of Dynamic Range and Mastering Quality?


This seems like a good list: https://www.headphonesty.com/2025/04/audiophile-albums-show-off-systems/

but most of them were released more than a decade ago. Are there really no new albums that can match them?

When I was a kid 50 years ago, I picked up an album titled San Francisco Ltd.  It's a Crystal Clear album (code CCS5004) from 1976.  There's a mix of jazz, funk and soul on the album from various artists.  it's a 45 RPM Direct to Disc recording.

For pure sound quality, I have never heard an album that comes close to this recording - sheer perfection.
