SACD s to die for

Yes, it is a disapppointment.

I keep waiting for the floodgates to open and the new SACD titles to come pouring out. It ain't happening.

The Red Rose is the best sounding of the SACDs I've heard, but it's such simple stuff, how could they miss?

Kind of Blue,Miles Davis
Appalachian Journey,YO-YO MA
Can't Stand The Weather,SRV
BluesQuest,Audioquest hybrid,various

I gree with Kubla, the KoB SACD can't hold a candle to the 180 gm vinyl pressing. Tony Overwater's "OP" SACD is one of the best I've heard, great sonics and music. It's on Turtle Records.

--Mahler Symphony No. 2, on Delos, a 20 bit pcm recording that still sounds superb; also, the latest Delos SACD release with the Shostakovich String Symphony is also excellent

--Audioquest Blues Sampler

--the Lyrinx recording of Musique Francais for clarinet and piano

--Appalachian Journey, Yo Yo Ma et al

--Bach Goldberg Variations, Perihia (I cannot spell his name, sorry!)

--the Hyperion recording of French string trios with the Florestan Trio

--Gaudeamus, Sacred Feast on dmp.

The Telarc Dukas and Hovahnnes discs are pretty good as well. I just got their 1812 Overture disc, will listen this weekend (could not resist, I'm a sucker for the sonic spectaculars once every 10 years or so!). Thanks for the Opus 3 recommendation, I was considering it but wasn't sure about the content--it sounds very interesting.

Here's my list:

Blood, Sweat & Tears
Flim and BBs, Tricycle
Jay McShann, What a wonderful life.
Santana, Abraxas
Oldfield, Tubular Bells
Armstrong Plays Handly
Doug MacLeod, Whose Lies and Unmarked Road
Rebecca Pidgeon, The Raven
Ellington, Blues in Orbit
Oscar Peterson, A Very Tall Band
Kenny Loggins, Greatest Hits
Carole King, Tapestry
