SHARE YOUR SACDs THAT SOUND FANTASTIC!!

I am starting this thread at someone’s suggestion, and it was a VERY good suggestion!  Share the title, artist, and the SACD issuing company of really good sounding SACDs you've spent some time with.

I’ll get the ball rolling...

"WHITES OFF EARTH NOW!" by The Cowboy Junkies: MoFi.  Unfortunately, out of print, but I wouldn’t bat an eye at paying a hundred bucks for a copy due to the music and the sonics.  In my opinion, it sounds better than "Trinity Sessions".

"THE GIRL IN THE OTHER ROOM" by Diana Krall: Verve.  Coming up with the second was harder than the first because there are many to choose from.  This SACD is warm, palpable, punchy, dimensional, with truth of timbre in spades.  Very intimate sound.  As a system becomes more transparent, so does this disc, seemingly without end.

I won’t share any more because I don’t want to be an SACD hog.  LET’S HEAR ’EM!!

I have a couple of Venus.  One is a Jazz disc, Groovin', I can't recall the group!  It sounds really good.  LET'S KEEP THIS GOING!  There is only 1 SACD pressing plant in the world.  That's not enough (in my view).  SACD is THE  Audiophile Digitized Physical Media.  I love LPs, no two ways about that, but SACD on good players or using some of the newer DAC solutions is awesome.

FACEBOOK has an SACD group with 17,000 members.  Just think about that!

I would like to add DIRE STRAITS BROTHERS IN ARMS:  Mobile Fidelity SACD.  Sadly, out of print, though some businesses still have a little inventory.  This is bound to be one of those discs that is catapulted to "collector's status" and will bring big money down the road.

Regarding how it sounds, the CD was good, but this version of the SACD sounds like I always wished it would, but didn't.  You'd swear it was an analog master tape.
