Which CD's for Imaging/Soundstage?

I have heard Eva Cassidy a few times as it is one of my frieds favourite CD's, however I just could not relate to her style of music. The sound was very good indeed, excellent vocals and great atmosphere.

Another fried has dropped two of the Rolling Stones Hybrid SACD's which I need to check out on my system.

I bet "Blood on the tracks" must be very good, have you heard it?

I cannot agree more on the Making Music album, I have had it since last ten years and is never too far away from the player. Track 1 is an absolute gem in terms of what making music is all about, the listener is forced to believe that he is listening the to the instruments talking to each other. All credit to the musicians who have used them so skillfully.

Mikejazz,

I forgot to include the CD Companion in my list, I think it is an excellent example. From the CD I gather it was a very intimate sourrounding and there could be no more than 50 folks around during the session. Is it right?

Anyone care to add to this list some of the newer offerings that you may have come across?

Anyone care to add any SACD's to this list? I recently got the 963SA and on the Philips sampler I had heard the James Taylor's "Jump up behind me" which I thought had great soundstage overall. I do not have the album Hourglass which this track is taken from but I might just get the SACD version of this album. I am wondering if anyone has heard the SACD version of Hourglass, and if they have, could possibly share their opinion on it.

Cheers!
