What are your favorite recordings that sound best to you?

Forgot one - Pink Floyd Wish you were Here CBS Mastersound Japanese - (Welcome to the Machine is incredible)

Shirley Horn - The Music That Makes Me Dance. Breathtakingly executed in production and performance.

Cassandra Wilson - New Moon Daughter. Again, excellent performances and sound quality.

Personally I found Patricia Barber café blue recording too hi Fi, I mean it doesn't sound real for me, it's a bit sci Fi. But it might be my system, anyway, some of my reference recording that gives me goosebumps are this:

Sam Cooke / night beat 

Inti illimani / lugares comunes

Sueye Park/ Paganini 24 caprices SACD

Ella and Louis SACD

Simone kopmajer / live at Heidi

Very common but still... Nils lofgren/ acoustic live

Jacques lousier/ the best of play Bach SACD

Pink Floyd/ the wall and animals

Roxy Music - Avalon SACD

Dark Side of the Moon - SACD. The main reason I still have my 20-year-old modified Sony SCD-1 is to hear this recording on the SCD-1.
