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 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.

Patricia Barber "Cafe Blue", unmastered...Premonition SACD, also "Modern Cool" by IMPEX (2024).

"Bill Withers at Carnegie Hall", MOFI limited edition

Sara K.   "Made in the Shade"  by Stockfisch SACD

"Getz/Gilberto"  Verve/Mofi Original Master Recording...Stan Getz with Joao and Astrid Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobin

I have a hundred or so, but a few that haven't been mentioned are Train, Drops of Jupiter/Columbia,  Any of the "World's Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings " are great compilation discs.  There are several vol.

I do like SACD's.  Here's a couple that I think sound really good:

Art Pepper + Eleven - Contemporary CSA-7568-6

Rhapsody - Ravel/Bartok - Rosanne Philippens (violin), Yuri van Nieuwkerk (piano) - Channel Classics CCS SA35013
