mustang guy Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 There isn't a store anywhere near me that sells these. I would like to try a couple in my new Oppo BDP-93. I have been to Amazon and Acoustic Sounds, and was wondering if there were other options for buying these things. Based on a previous thread on the subject, I have compiled a list of SACD and DVD-a's which were recomended: Fleetwood Mac - Rumours Eagles (Hotel California) Seal (Best 1991-2004) Talking Heads Beatles LOVE Pink Floyds DSOTM - DVD A Queen both of them Steely Dans album Gaucho I love old rock (50's-70's) and the blues. I also like some of the older stuff like Sinatra. Any recomendations on first purchases, and on sources? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crd97086 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I have done the same search, and I came up disappointed also. I have found them on Amazon with a bit of searching. I can say that if you like Elton John, there are a number of his albums that are both older and newer that are available on SACD. I wish I could say that I find them to sound better than the CD layer, but I just haven't. I read some people say the SACD layer is so much better, but I haven't yet heard it. There is also a website I found a few months ago that specifically listed SACDs and where to buy them. I think it might have also had links for each album to the place it was available. Unfortunately, I don't recall what it was, but the time I found it I do recall it was on the first page in my browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 This one is a must SACD..... There is a thread in the Entertainment Section, "Music & Movies" , on this topic. Oops! Link Repaired!! [:$] Also, type SACD into amazon's search bar and you will get hundreds, if not thousands of SACD's. DVD-A's annoy me, as you have to turn on the TV to work the menu, but you can type DVD-A into the search bar also. Also try Music Direct. Keep us posted on what you get!

Zen Traveler Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Last week I found 3 pristine REM DVD-As 2 sacds (sacred love and gaucho, both which I have on DVD-A) and Ray Charles, Genius Loves Company, all for under $50 total at our local Recycled Books and Records. The week before that, I found 3 Rolling Stones 2-channel SACDs at Hastings for around $7 a piece...They have the various sized packages mixed in with either with CDs or DVDs and it takes some looking to be able to differentiate what's what, but deals can be found.

I have got to start following you around! You may find some of those are "Out of Print" and worth quite a bit of money! I typically don't look at the "value" of the disc, just the music content. But when they start fetching hundreds of dollars a disc, value is a factor! Great finds keep us posted! Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingBullWinkle Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Check E-Bay also some sellers have good size stores.

Rick Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I am always looking on Audiogon for SACDs too, but you have to watch out and do your homework there too... Some sellers have certain discs listed for 2 to 3 times the amount you can still purchase them from Amazon (titles such as the Diana Krall and Eric Clapton SACD's, to name a couple)...

I can dig it....I just received my DVD-A of Kamakiriad, which finishes my Steely Dan collection and I almost paid as much for it on e-bay as I did the disks mentioned above purchased in our local used market..

mustang guy Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 I finally received my Seal DVD/DVD-A/CD/CD Acoustic package today. It's been almost 2 weeks! All I can say is it is a wonderful package, and Seal has the voice of an angel. I highly recomend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
