What 4 or 5 sacds should I have?

the stones' 'let it bleed' is very well engineered... it sounds like 5 guys in a room playing acoustic instruments, not a muddy wall of rock instruments

Hi Warren,

Here is a variety of attention grabbers that may interfere with your futszing around:
1. Five Songbirds, A Reference Collection of Female Vocalists, FIM SACD 048. If any of the ladies resonate with your tastes, you can check out their CDs in the FIM catalogue and elsewhere. If none of these lady's voices stop your futszing, check your pulse.
2. Norah Jones, Come Away With Me, Blue Note Records. Excellent Recording.
3. Songs of the Auvergne, Netania Davreth's version is the most lyrical, Vanguard Classics VSD 502.
4. Cantate Domino, Proprius PRSACD 7762.
5. The Sound of Glory, Telarc SACD 60579.
6. Vivaldi, The Four Seasons, Sonatori De La Gioiosa Marca, FIM SACD 052.
7. Vivaldi, La Stravaganza, Rachel Podger/ Arte Dei Suonatori, Channel Classics, (2 disc set) CCS SA 19503.
8. And for something extra-ordinary: Autumn Yearning Fantasia, FIM SACD M 060. Selection of pieces played on Chinese instruments. This is truly a reference quality recording. It was selected as the demonstration reference for the Multi-Channel Recording Seminar, entitled "The New Realism" at the 2003 AES Convention.

Great Listening,
John

1. The Girl In The Other Room -Diana Krall
2. Sisters and Brothers- Eric Bibb,Rory Block,Maria Muldaur
3. Motown-Michael McDonald
4. The Red Hot Ray Brown Band
5. Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane

Sounds like you are set up for multichannel, and video. If so, latch on to an AIX DVDA. Sound quality is every bit as good as SACD, but the extra features, which SACD can't offer, are amazing.

AIX DVDA? don't know what that is. My home theatre is two channel.
