Sacd & Dvd-a

[wilber]

Got my new 656 so now I need some disks.

Any recommendations? (Rock / Jazz / Classical)
Any good sites? - play seem cheap but their selection is woeful.

For SACD,

James Taylor- Hourglass
Roger Waters- live
Herbie Hancock- Headhunters
Aerosmith- Oh Yeah (not multichannel as most sites advertise)

I get mine from Play so far, havn't found a better UK site.

Got "In the flesh" yesterday & put it through its paces last night. All I can say is I didn't really believe the hype about SACD but I can confirm myself a convert, just need a few more disks.

Good innit?

if you want to try dvd-audio, i'd recommend bjork's vespertine, which is a magical experience, and the two alice cooper discs. the multi-channel mixes on all three are excellent! i always thought welcome to my nightmare sounded pretty awful, but this disc sounds fantastic, and manages to inject enormous life into the whole album! the best stereo sound i've heard is the eagle's hotel california. hopefully some record company will properly exploit this format, as i personally feel it has more potential than sacd.
