Get on yourmusic.com (I think there is a link on this forum) and do a search for "SACD" under album title. They have several RCA Living Stereo titles and many of them are fantastic with two and three channel sound. They also have a few Mercury Living Presence SACDs. I love "Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker/ Serenade For Strings (SACD Hybrid)" and I am sure you will like it.
One final note, hybrid format is the way to go because they can also play in a regular CD player.

Look in the vendor's classifieds. I'm blowing out some overstock to AK members this month.

Am I the only one that wasn't impressed by Pink Floyd DSOTM, well in stereo anyways??
I have a few favorites in SACD, but I didn't compare them to the redbook layer.
The best sounding one I listened to is The Steve Davis Project - Quality of Silence
Great sound stage and awesome dynamics.

My single layer Charles Mingus Uh Um sounds wonderful.
My Boston single layer does not sound as good as my standard LP of it.
The MoFi Kinks Low Budget is really great and yet the Everybody's In Show Business sounds no different than the LP to my ears.
I like the 30th DSOTM LP much better than the SACD.

I've tried a few of the RCA Living Stereo SACD issues, and can recommend :
1. Ravel --- Daphnis et Chloe, Munch
2. Ravel --- Bolero, La Valse; Rapsodie Espagnole Munch
3. Chopin --- Ballades & Scherzos, Rubinstein
4. Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade, Reiner (I like the Beecham wonderful performance of Scheherazade better than Reiner's, but Beecham is not available on SACD. Reiner's performance is very good and has the plus of SACD sound).

I have not compared it to other formats but my favorite SACD is:
Thelonious Monk-Straight, No Chaser
When the LP was originally released they had to cut almost 10 minutes in 3 cuts to get it to fit on the LP. The SACD reissue has this missing 10 minuets to bring it back to its original mix. There are also 2 extra songs on it (one is an alternate take).
I'm not sure if the 2 channel only version is still in print. It is Columbia CS 64886. I have not used a MCD201 but the SACD player I was using did much better for 2 channel playing 2 channel SACDs as opposed to the 2 channel/multi channel editions.
