X2 in regard to CCR...great-sounding SACDs.

My nephew-in-law sent me a gift from overseas. I just about **** myself when I opened the package and saw this:

Being a big SRV fan, I'm extremely familiar with this album. I've had the CD for years and more recently, a 2008 180g vinyl reissue. I thought the LP was a huge improvement over the CD. However, earlier this week I received the new Mofi SACD from Elusive Disc. Plainly stated, it leaves my other two copies in the dust! The dynamics are incredible. I'm hearing things I've never heard before (When my 55-year old ears are hearing things that my 40-year old ears never did, I'm impressed!). It goes without saying that the performance is awesome regardless of the format you're listening to but the SACD takes it up to the next level. Mofi really knows what they're doing! If you even given this release a passing thought, do yourself a favor and buy it - it's worth every penny! :thmbsp:
Listening to it right now. Incredible. :thmbsp:

I just took the plunge into SACD and have begun trying to find some good "bang for the buck" discs. I'm not going to pay $150 for an out of print title, no matter how good it sounds. Some early favorites:
1) Elton John - "Elton John" - for an album recorded in 1970 (iirc) this is one stellar sounding recording. I had "Take me to the Pilot" shaking the house...
2) Ray Charles - "Genius Loves Company" - a recent recording that really sounds great. Lots of different vocalists here to really show off SACD's clear presentation of the human voice.
3) DSOTM - what can I say - I had to get this one. Not disappointed
Stevie Ray is on my list, as are a lot of jazz titles. I'll post more in a few weeks...

That one was my SACD bonus. After I bought my SACD player, and a few SACD, I found out that the Ray Charles - "Genius Loves Company" I already had, was also SACD.
Two years ago, I had never heard of SACD, so I'm a SACD noob.
Same here :yes:
I got DSOTM and Eat a Peach (Allman Bros). Frankly the quality exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be buying more . . . but not at $150
Thanks for the many suggestions!

Some more new discs in the house...
Clapton - Derek, 461 Ocean and Slowhand. None even remotely justifies SACD.
I would say avoid these unless you just can't stop yourself.
Poncho Sanchez "Out of Sight" - now THIS is what I've been looking for. Spectacular percussion, horns, and super tight low bass. This may be my " this is why I bought SACD" disc when friends come over. If you love funky latin jazz, you need this one. Available all over the bay for cheap....

I don't trust (new) music cd's in the computer any more after sony got bagged with their root kit scheme a few years back. Thanks for the tip though. Will it play in a DVD player?

+1!!
I think that @hdtracks Beck>Sea Change>Lost Cause has a truly awesome mix in of a real, mechanical accordion. I know its an all digital production and output i think is 24b/96khtz. The cd (16b/44.k) presentation of the accordion is not quite right in comparison to the cd tracks version but if you haven't heard more accordion/squeeze box live @ family functions I doubt you'd notice the difference between the cd and the hd tracks versions using a solid overall rendering path.
