Audiogon "SACD's TO DIE FOR" list


Any favorite SACD's that offer a substantial improvement over their redbook counterparts?
Mine are: DAVE BRUBECK "TIME OUT", MILES DAVIES "KIND OF BLUE", TITANIC SOUNDTRACK, GETZ GILBERTO.

The ones that REALLY standout from the 25 I have (and are better than the redbook) are:

Pink Floyd - DSOM
The Who - Tommy
Elton John - Madman Across the Water

I think these are the best of the best I have in this format.
I'm just going to tag along for the ride, here, if'n y'all don't mind. My favorite so far has been DSOTM, though Dylan's Highway 61 and The Police are also sounding pretty darn good to me.
Don't miss:
Eric Dolphy
"Out There"

A hybrid SACD orginally recorded in 1960(!)that has sonics that are truly superb. Great drive! Pulsating, throbing acoustic bass. Powerful, tonally accurate horns. Clean clear, shimmering percussion and drums! Modern, yet accessible, jazz from a player on par with Coltrane, Coleman, and Parker.
A must have! Trust me!
Lately, I've been listening to...

Elton John - Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
The Kinks - Misfits
Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy

and the RCA Living Stereo SACD's (All of them)

Captain Fantastic is magnificent. Misfits and Oh Mercy aren't reference quality, but very good. But I listen to them more often because the music is superior.

The RCA releases are among the best out there. Don't think that because they're old recordings that they might still sound old. They don't. Whoever made those original recordings were geniuses.

Cheers.
