Pink Floyd. Dark side of the... Oh, you've heard of it.
Rubenstein Beethoven Sonatas. Living Stereo. Finally, the distorting effects of the original stereo mixdown are removed, and the concert can be heard as the engineers intended: Three Mikes. Three Tapes. Three Channels.

I haven't purchased any hi-rez in a while, so yesterday was rather surprising...

I intended to get the Flaming Lips Soft Bulletin DVD-A, which I did actually find in-store, to my astonishment. We also browsed a local used CD store, and I found mint copies of Elton John's Honkey Chateau and Madman Across the Water on SACD for 9 bucks each. Finding used hi-rez is next to impossible in this town, so I asked the sales guy if they had any more in stock. No luck there, but the two I snagged were still rather nice...

I received and played this weekend:

The Who "Tommy" SACD Hybrid Surround

The Carpenters "Singles 1969-1981" SACD Hybrid Surround

Marvin Gaye "Let's Get it On" SACD Hybrid Surround

"Tommy" is the standout, not sure why I bought the other two.

I have few in my collection that makes me say that...
Like I was thinking..."Maybe this album sounds better in surround" and 8 out of 10 times I find out it doesn't.
Sometimes you have to take one for the team ...except for Silverline titles

For those who wants the SACD of Stevie Ray Vanghan's "Couldn't Stand the Weather"....it's readily available at the Japanese HMV website. The price isn't so bad when compared to what people are asking on ebay. And since you're there, why not pick up Herbie Hancock's "Future Shock" SACD?

Anonymous 4 The Origin of Fire: Music and Visions of Hildegard von Bingen. (SACD-Harmonia Mundi)
The surrounds seem to be used to good effect, recreating the echos of the performance space.

just purchased Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms" SACD

also Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty" DVD-A


also, for the guy whi said he didnt know why he purchased Marvin Gayes "Lets Get it On" ? I dont know how that sounds but "The Marvin Gaye Collection" on SACD is an excellent sounding disc!

too bad there isnt a SACD/DVD-A trading thread. this is the only place where people keep on top of this stuff and I know I have a few to trade away.
