We are in exactly the same boat I just picked up mine this weekend and asked someone the exact same question. I bought Let it bleed and Beggars Banquet for the Stones now classical Mozart Sinfonia concertante this is both 2 channel and 5.1 if you are so inclined my dealer loaned me a neat sacd from Al Demiola something about Sanfrancisco and surprisingly Dylan's Blonde on blonde for an older cd it was a neat recording. I just ordered J T's Hourglass and Patricia Barber Modern Cool. So here we go again a new format the one to end all formats " only kidding" the only rule of thumb I am using is I am trying not to replace stuff I already have the idea of comparing the two can make you nuts and in the end all you have are two recordings of the same stuff I am looking at this to expand my collection and hear some great recordings on my system for the first time then as time and money and technology permit I will augment some of my cd's with duplicates Good Luck
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?
