"Must-have" SACDs Out There

I owned the XA-777es for about a year, I liked it a lot and have played many of the above disc's on it...fantastic Sacd player that will show you the difference you are looking for.

At this time, I own a pioneer budget Sacd player and the difference if any is much smaller.

From a recording standpoint, these stand out as superior to many others I own and its good music too!

Matt Haimovitz * Please welcome....

Wynton Marsalis * Marsalis Standard Time

Mark O'Connor * Hot Swing Trio

Wow!!! Thanks for all the tips. I enjoy a wide variety music, just not so much into Classical. I love Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy, Jennifer Warnes, Rebecca Pidgeon, Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen, even Bon Jovi, the lists goes on. I have a couple of Patricia Barber's CDs, I agreed that they are all excellent excellent recordings but I couldn't bring myself to love some of her music, however there are a couple of her songs that I really enjoyed though, like "Bye Bye Black Bird", "Autumn Leaves", "Too Rich for my Blood?".
