Mercury Living Presence SACD's

Elusive Disc is selling the first 5 titles (6 discs) as a package for $100 (all right, $99.99), that's the only price I checked out.

I stopped by Music Direct they are on sale, for $12.99
they are bargain for this price.They sound very good.

Jayctoy: I just went to music direct and the "Mercury Living Presence" discs start at $17.99. I think you must be thinking of the "RCA Living Stereo" SACD's that were recently released and cost $11.99.

Pardales you are right.Sorry about that.

Listened to the Respighi and Suppe discs last night. They are better than the CD versions from before, which themselves were among the best CDs I've heard, in terms of capturing the ambience of the hall and the decay of the instruments. Very open and spacious sounding--make the CDs sound closed-in in comparison. They also appear to be smoother in their reproduction of instruments (flute and brass lose a little metalic ring or edginess, for example, which might have been a digital distortion artifact), although I'm not sure about this as I am using my Sonogy amps full range right now instead of the tubed Lamms on the highs, as one's in for minor repairs. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of them this week.
