Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection

Can everyone share the list of the three best audiophile SACD/LP/CD from his collection regardless of genre ? IT's so difficult to find the real good sounding recording.

Here's a few on my list,

Jennifer Warnes always sounds very, very good to my ear, especially on "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "The Hunter".
Allen Toussaint's recent "Bright Mississippi" is a great record that sounds great, too.
The Duke Ellington Small Band LPs from Pablo are generally excellent sounding and Duke's "Far East Suite" on Bluebird(?) is wondefully recorded - music for the ages, to boot.
Cannonball Adderly/Nancy Wilson also scores on both counts; check out Canonball's solo on "Can't Get Started".
Yet another vote for "Bookends".

Okay, that's more than three.

Hugh Masekela - Hope - 45rpm 200g 2LP

They are 100 % analogue, super hi quality natural sound. This is Audiophile vinyl, most of them are 200 gram and 45 RPM for quality improvement. The sound is astonishing. I listen to them every day and never is enough.

 

All of them are available at my Quality Records Audiophile Vinyl e-shop as well. For the clients from Europe

The trouble with Audiophile recordings is, so often the music isn't up to the recording quality. My two favourites for some years, great music and recording:

   Sara K-Waterfalls, on the Stockfisch label,

  Mark Murphy-Love is What Stays, on Verve

 Both of them, you just know you are in for a treat, after the first few bars (Not the first track on Waterfalls, which is of a busking Sax player)
