Best SACD's

It would be great if we could put together a list of SACDs that are well recorded. I recently purchased two SACDs -Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon, and Santana, Supernatural - and they were extremely poor recordings.

I am trying to build a collection of more mainstream music SACDs but it seems I have to go through quite a few bad ones to get to the keepers.

Santana - "Supernatural"? Unless I am totally mistaken, that's not available on SACD. Possibly DVD-A.

It's a poor CD, though.

Metralla you are correct it is a DVD Audio. Poor recording.
I listened to Pink Floyd again last night and it really seems like the highs were just chopped off in comparision with the John Mayer and John Legend SACDs. Maybe its because the Pink Floyd was taken from such an old recording.

Regards,

Love Living Stereo SACDs. If just a single CD then it is definitely Brahms 1st Symphonie under Bohm (Esoteric SACD). Dead Can Dance SACDs as a Box set, but I still prefer recent LP pressings by MoFi

Just a general vote for Blue Coast Records. Small ensemble jazz and folk.

No particular favorite yet but the latest from Jenna Mammina is outstanding.

Fabulous attention to detail, and a lot of it is straight to DSD, as opposed to coming from analog masters.

Of course, since they are local to San Francisco, I’m a huge fanboy. :)

Best,
