OK, I know this is always listed as one of the best recordings, but just in case anyone has missed it:
The Pizza Tapes.
It absolutely, 100%, lives up to the hype, quality-wise. For as good as Knopfler and others here are, it is still head and shoulders above that level.
Yes, it's Jerry Garcia and the Dead isn't for everyone. But this is bluegrass and a lot of traditional tunes. Even if you hate that genre I'd imagine you could tolerate this. Especially when it shows you just how good your speakers can sound.
(BTW, thanks to John and others who recommended some good organ music. I cranked Toccata and Fugue in D Minor at 50 the other day and had one of those cartoon eyes bulging out of their sockets moments when the low end kicks in. That's just plain awesome.)
