Best sounding SACD's to show-off system

Elton’s sacds sounded great to me until I went back and played them on vinyl. GYBR, in particular, was much better in every way on vinyl (I have a first MCA pressing that has been played hundreds of times). That being said, the Elton sacds sound better than redbook.

OK, after close to 15 years and hosting many folks, both audiophiles and non, I’m changing my entry to Getz / Gilberto. After listening, many a non-audiophile then spent months asking me things like, "Uh, what was that thing you played called, an SACD?" and "How come it never took off?"

Hi Joe

I hear that- I, too, have EJ 's 60s and 70s catalog on 1st pressing MCA/Polydor original CDs. These do sound excellent.  I only own one or two SACD titles, not enough, to compare every title counterpart.
Happy Listening!

treljathe SACD may not have reached the masses? Much depended upon location(s). Best Buy, in my area, always had a pretty good selection over several genres of music. Circuit City (remember this chain store?) dabbled in SACD, again, in my area. For those of the internet age, eBay offered a vast catalog (still does). I can report that these discs were much cheaper upon release in the late 90's to mid 2000's.
Mingus- Ah Um and Getz/Gilberto are excellent in any format.Happy Listening!
