Wow!!! Thanks for all the tips. I enjoy a wide variety music, just not so much into Classical. I love Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy, Jennifer Warnes, Rebecca Pidgeon, Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen, even Bon Jovi, the lists goes on. I have a couple of Patricia Barber's CDs, I agreed that they are all excellent excellent recordings but I couldn't bring myself to love some of her music, however there are a couple of her songs that I really enjoyed though, like "Bye Bye Black Bird", "Autumn Leaves", "Too Rich for my Blood?".
"Must-have" SACDs Out There
I just got a Sony XA-777ES SACD player. I was initially disappointed with the performace. I could not hear much difference between the CD layer and SACD layer on the Sample CD that comes with the player. I went out and bought the "Norah Jones: Comes away with me" SACD and started listening, then I begin to realize the advantages of SACD. As far as I can tell so far, the music is smoother, less harsh, and has a overall quieter background. What else should I be listening to? What are the "must-have" SACDs out there?
