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!!

Anyone interested in SACDs should really check out the Japanese  SHM SACDs they were  issued almost 20 years ago but their fidelity is excellent. 

The newer AP issues sound harder but it's good to have them because the SHM SACDs were incomplete.

I found a CD copy of Cowboy Junkies "Whites Off Earth Now" at Goodwill. I thought the title was ridiculous, so without ever listening to it, I sent it to a friend along with several others. He can't stop thanking me! He swears it's the best sounding CD he owns. He loves the sound of Margo Timmins voice, and describes it as "sultry'. The record was made in the 90's, so I was surprised to see the recent listener-review here that agreed with my friend. Apparently, the unusual recording equipment contributed to the sound.

slaw,

Just fyi, the first MFSL CD (not SACD) that I bought years ago was Elton John's "Tumbleweed Connection". What a great album!

I only have 7 SACD’s and most are the usual s. Dark Side & Dire Straits etc.

I’m going to get my wife hitting the thrift stores I guess. But of them all, I think Tumbleweed Connection, by Elton John sounds the best.
