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.

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)

Great idea for a thread, so thanks to the OP, abronfer, if they’re still around. A dubious "thanks" to qualityrecordshop for resurrecting it.

I won’t claim these are "audiophile" recordings in the contemporary sense; e.g., the LPs are just original or at least very early pressing vinyl. All selections have exceptional sound compared to many other recordings I own. No doubt, a few more could be added to each list, but in keeping with the OPs original idea....

LPs
1. Dire Straits - Love Over Gold (especially, Private Investigations)
2. Laurie Anderson - Mister Heartbreak
3. Stevie Ray Vaughn - Couldn’t Stand the Weather (primarily, Tin Pan Alley)

CD/SACD
1. Andy Summers - Last Dance of Mr. X (HDCD)
2. Peter Gabriel - UP (SACD)
3. Steely Dan - Gaucho (SACD)
