I have 30 or so SACDs but like all formats their quality varies according to how well the recording engineer made use of the bandwidth and preserved dynamic range.

For outstanding sound quality, I can't say enough superlatives about the Mobile Fidelity SACDs. Highly Recommended for exceptional sound quality;

Patricia Barber: Cafe Blue, Modern Cool, Companion, Nightclub

Ravel Bolero Minnesota Orchestra, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski conducting

Coleman Hawkings: The Hawk flies High



Other high quality SACD issues:

Rebecca Pidgeon: Retrospective

The World's Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings

Livingston Taylor: Ink

Wille Nelson: Stardust

Eddie Higgins: Tenderly, Best of Eddie Higgins

Dave Brubeck Quartet: Take Five

Jacintha: Here's to Ben, A Tribute to Ben Webster

Audiophile reference IV

David Sanborn : Time Again

Cecilia Bartoli, Gluck Italian Arias

Superbass 2, Ray Brown, Joseph clayton, Christian McBride






Lesser Quality (Get the regular CD instead):

Roxy Music, Best of

Peter Gabriel, Shaking the Tree

Sheryl Crow, The Globe Sesssions

Eric Clapton, 461 Ocean Boulevard

Monty Alexander, Stir It Up
