I do have a couple early SACDs that don't sound as well as they can, but they still are an improvement over the CD from the same time. I also have a few TelArc SACDs, which were directly recorded in DSD, and they are absolutely stunning with their sonic quality. Truly the best I've heard in SACD or any format.

Were those mostly Classical? I have a great local store that specializes in CD/SACD in Classical, Jazz and World music......Any recommendations?

If I may make a couple ???

I love how realistic Miles Davis-Kind Of Blue on SACD sounds. Really feels like "they" are in the living room, no speakers, no electronics, pure music !!! To me this one is magnificent, and if you are into mellow yet hip instrumental jazz, then it will be a real treat !!! It really is an experience in my living room, and my go to choice for recommendations. It is also inexpensive for an SACD too.

Next up, BLUE COAST COLLECTION - THE E.S.E. SESSIONS - VARIOUS ARTISTS (HYBRID SACD). Stunning sound quality. Definitely superb test and demo material. Also has quite a few very likable and enjoyable tracks on it so it's not basic crappy elevator music. A lot of people love this one and it's easy to "hear" why.

So far I have about 50-60 SACD's and some I took chances on and love, and some that's not the case. Only because it's not something I really would listen to anyhow. These two suggestions are very likable and enjoyable, but most of all the sound quality itself is simply great !!!

Thanks Andrew...going for breakfast with an old friend downtown and the store I mentioned earlier is right across the street. Going to see what he has. I wouldn't mind some Yo-Yo-Ma either....

As far as I know there is no Yo Yo Ma on SACD .......... I do have a few of his CD's and the SQ is hit or miss.
