SACD - Just Starting Out


I'm taking the plunge with SACD next week. I have only one SACD sampler so far. I plan to start with 5 SACD's and build from there. My musical tastes tend mainly towards rock, jazz, some classical and a little C&W/Bluegrass. Given that I'm a Rolling Stones fan and I plan to buy 2 of the new reissues, what would you suggest as a starter library? Which 2 Stones SACD's are the best?

Patricia Barbers, modern cool and night club, on the mobile fidelity label are simply outstanding. Hilary Hahn plays stravinsky and brahms is also very good if you like those two composers. Jacintha, lush life, is also excellent if you like female jazz vocals. She is smoother more precise in her presentation than diana krall. I have had my SACD player (SCD-1) for about six months now and have enjoyed every minute of ownership. SACD is as close as it gets to analog without the hassles.
