Thanks: Gave 41, Got 96 | SACD Titles Please
Hi just venturing into the world of SACD and would like some recommendations please. I like all sorts of genres providing it basically sounds good if you know what i mean - makes your hifi sing!
I've tried to google for online stores for a list of available titles but there doesn't seem to be too much modern stuff for example.
Anyhow, any of your favourite sacd's you can recommend would be appreciated!
Thanks
Nash,

Billy Joel - The Stranger (not hybrid) | Thanks for your suggestions - 2 channel & multichannel dont really mind at all. As I said I will listen to anything that is well produced and makes the most my setup. Can you also recommend a good site to purchase from. I usually by cd's etc from Amazon Marketplace, CVD-Wow but wondered if there was any sites that specialise,
thanks again

I've also ordered SACD's from cdjungle but found their delivery times were less than impressive

Just ordered the following from Acoustic Sounds Inc
Dark Side of the moon SACD, The Beatles – Love DVD-A & CD, Mark Knopfler Shangrila – DVD-A & CD all for $74 shipped (call it £40) via Fedex priority seems ok what do you think of the prices?
The availability of hybrid recordings is unbelievable. Will let you know how the shipping turns out,

you are going to enjoy the purchases
take a look @ www.AIXrecords.com as well I got Zephyr: Voices Unbound which is an AMAZING acapella dvd-audio - there are 2 mixes and 3 soundtracks - the DVD-A and DTS are stage mix (you are in the center of 12 singers) DD is audience mix, DD and DTS have video
