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!!

1.  Shania Twain Up is a very good SACD recording.  It sounds amazing.

2.  Elvis 30 # 1 Hits sounded a lot better than I expected.  It sounds great.

3.  Fleetwood Mac Rumors sounds really good.

4.  Hall & Oates Rock N’ Soul Part 1 sounds really good as well.

5.  Supertramp Breakfast in America sounds good but doesn't have the mind blowing improvement on some others from what I remember.

5.  Yes 90125 was a disappointment.  Not the same level of sound improvement compared to those listed above.

6.  Just received Foreigner and Foreigner 4 but haven’t listened to them yet.

If you don't mind classical and jazz, Presto Music | All things musical… on your doorstep has over 6.000 new SACDs listed, together with recommendations, reviews, sound samples, etc.  There's nothing new about SACD in Europe.

In my opinion, if the label goes to the trouble of recording in multi-channel sound, the quality and the performance are usually good as well.

Also Grammy award winning 2L - the Nordic Sound has glorious immersive sound and usually delivers SACD and Pure Audio Blu-ray in the same pack, so you can compare up to 9 digital delivery technologies.

I don't have very many SACDs although I do have a decent player.  This post inspired me to find one.  Dire Straits Brothers in Arms sounds really good. 

It took me a few minutes to figure out what I'm using for an interconnect.  It's a Graham Slee CuSat50.  Very nice cable.  Harder to get now with the tariffs.
