All have great sonics. But, first two have much to offer sonically, but not perfect. All musically in highest of leagues.

I will second one of tvad's selections, Dire Straits On Every Street, also Alice in Chains Unplugged, perhaps the best in digital playback. Richard Thompsons Two Letter Words, and I have the Vinyl which is incredible, but the digital copy of Allison Krauss & Union Station, So Long, So Wrong. Sounds very good for a CD.
