@jasonbourne71 You are absolutely right, provided you like the stones, which I do (especially their early stuff). It's not that the recording quality suddenly becomes GREAT on SACD, (they weren't recorded well) but SACD has the capability of "organizing" things so they make sense, which CD, and yes, vinyl fail to do. There are so many little things they were doing in the studio that can be heard via SACD.
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!!

@porchlight1 Hey! A fellow tuba player! (Percussionist too)
We tuba players have to stick together though! |
@propoke what company made your Rumors SACD?. Mine says "Warner Brothers Japan" and the writing in the booklet is all Japanese. It sounds awful. If you have a better one, I'd like to know what to look for. |
@hifi1967 You caught me listing a couple brass ensemble SACDs. Enjoy!

Two I played this morning are excellent: Ben Webster, My Romance (Ultradisc UD-SACD8934-2, Top Music 2009); and John Lee Hooker, The Hot Spot original motion picture soundtrack (Analogue Productions 2009). I’m looking up a couple of the other recommendations as I listen. Discogs has a lot of readily findable SACDs. |
