Audiogon "SACD's TO DIE FOR" list

I'll definitely be following this thread...but if I were to list just one for now, I would 2nd Scagneti's suggestion of
Beck-Sea Change....damn...just like a potato chip...can't just list one DSOTM is pretty nice also...I'd sure love to hear that on a S.O.T.A. system.

I don't know about substantial improvement but Telarc Mahlers are a lot of fun. Bernstein on Sony is really good. Actually a lot of Sony Classical reissues are pretty good. Bruno's recordings aren't that great sounding IMO but the music is worth it. Snell's have pretty good sound quality.

I really like the Fidelis recordings they are hybrid discs and I have never listened to the redbook layer,so I can not comment about that. I also like the Hilary Hahn Bach recordings. As others have mentioned Patricia Barber, Jacintha (not sure of spelling), Diana Krall, AKUS, to name a few. I would go look as their are a few more that I like, but I am to lazy to get up.
