SACD recommendations

[Musicman2112]

Agreed. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, listening to music on a sacd disc is purely for a different sound experience. Some music really suits the multichannel beautifully, others not so much. Pink Floyd as an example is a fun experience in multichannel.

Some SACD Schubert:
"The Great"
Symphony in C Major (1955)
"Unfinished"
Munch/Boston Symphony
Symphony in B Minor (1958)
Excellent!

I also have that living stereo disk, and a Herbert Blomstedt SACD of similar music, excellent by the way!

Peter White - Glow
Steely Dan - Gaucho

I have a 5.1 mix of Gaucho on DVD-Audio. Sounds great, but not as good as my Analog Productions UHQR pressing.

After playing the two side-by-side, I'd say the top end on the DVD-A disk sounds a bit less open.

The 5.1 mix is a fun change up!!

A fave of mine: David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust (and all that other stuff about spiders and Mars). Really nice top end on that!!

I think I have only one SACD.
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon, 2003
SACD, Hybrid, Multichannel, Stereo, Album, Reissue, Remastered, 30th Anniversary Edition
Fun stuff on headphones. I took the photo.

I'm sure it's great fun on phones, but have you played it on a 5.1 system?

I have the same SACD, and this one blows me away. Those massive bass notes at the beginning of Time will leave you a giggling idiot (well, mine leaves me that way) and either glad you have at least one subwoofer or wishing you had one!!

Nope not on a 5.1 system.

I was listening to this on KBAQ-FM Phoenix and the sound quality was marvelous, so I think the SACD is a good bet! They were probably playing the CD.

I’m going to listen to this tomorrow nite, looking forward to hearing it!

Listened to it last night, excellent! Highly recommended!!

I found this to be the highest quality recording of “The Planets” …..give it a whirl!
