Best sounding SACD disc?

Santana ABRAXSAS. An oldee made better. It'll blow them away!!!!! If your looking for something more suttle try The Dave Brubeck Quartet / Time Out or John Pizzarelli / My Blue Heaven.

The Elton John discs are the best I've heard in pop music. In classical, the RCA Living Stereo series is great, although some of the recordings do show their age a little bit. Try the Mahler 4th or Petroushka by Stravinsky. Pentatone and Telarc also make excellent SACDs.

Cheers
