SACD anyone???


I put this under music because;great sounding sacd is my goal.Before I get to far,I just bought my first XRCD and it blows me away. ---Over at avsforum they have what they call a tier system for the new format discs. This is based on pic.quality. So, of the 3 sacds I own none sound as good as the one xrcd.
I went thrugh all 53 pages at Music Direct and only found one item to buy.
I noticed a pretty skimpy representation in the C&W arena. Are they stereotyping c&w fans??? It would seem so. All I saw was some4/5 Johnny Cash, 2 Allison Krous;not much more Further,5.1 sacd isn't for me. Then we have 3.0 or even 4.0
So, are there sacds that sound better than other sacds??
Background: I have a sacd changer I have owned for 2 years. I also own a dvd-a changer in another system.I never bought either software---till I bought AA Prestige se. THAT set me off on a journey to see,7 years later what these new formats have to offer.
My tastes would be classical first,C&W, then 70's. Back a few years ago Sat's Music Choice had a Dixieland station. That and some good big-band stuff. The sacd's I own 2 Bob Dillon--(So,So,) a Classical 3.0 I bought by mistake. I ordered Dvorak/Szell's Slavonic Dances. Do some labels sound better??

I will leave the rest to others but the classical repertoire is very well represented in SACD. Among the labels making excellent NEW recordings, there is Telarc, Pentatone, MDG, Harmonia Mundi, Channel Classics, Lipinski, Chesky, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, Ondine, BIS and many others. Major orchestras are also issuing SACDs, see SFSO, LSO, LPO, RCO, Minnesota, Philadelphia and more coming soon.

While there are some really outstanding reissues like the RCA and Mercury series, the best is the new stuff.
