SACD Recommendations

I personally love the sound and richness of SACDs. I do wish they were more popular so more would be released. What are your favorite SACD recommendations?

A couple of my favorites are Miles Davis - Live-Evil and Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon.

A couple up to add to my collection are:

  • Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
  • Fleetwood Mac - Rumors (I can't seem to find "Rumors" other than stupid-pricey Japanese exports. Any thoughts?)
  • Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
  • Steely Dan - Gaucho
  • Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlaticism
  • Can - Tago Mago
  • Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow

Eric Clapton's Slowhand is one you should definitely listen to.


I just saw this while searching around on Amazon. I didn't realize it was on SACD. Will have to pick that one up, for sure!

I've read a lot of reviews on this disc and most seem to say the CD sounds as good as the SACD. So, you might want to read some reviews first or borrow a copy, before laying down some dough! But, if you don't have the CD, then it is probably worth the purchase, as it is one of the lower priced SACD!

Good luck and keep us posted,

Dennie

Excerpt: "...the new hi-rez formats
generally sound better than standard CDs, but not because the processing
technology is superior. The hi-rez discs are aimed at a more
sophisticated market, and therefore the recording sessions and
production techniques tend to be more sophisticated, more puristic, in
terms of microphoning, compression, editing, etc. The use of a standard
16-bit/44.1-kHz processor as a 'bottleneck' in the Meyer-Moran tests
eliminated this concern. Comparing the CD and SACD layers of the same
disc also eliminates it."
