My new CDP does SACD too....

So, since you don't like Christian music, if we were to perhaps suggest some Islamic, Buddhist, Druid, or perhaps even some Satanic music, that would be okay then?

;-)

Ah, must be a Friday!

Allman Brothers, 'Live at the Fillmore East', Pink Floyd, 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Is it multichannel sacd,and does it play dvd audio discs?

Any of the San Francisco Symphony's Mahler cycle (on their own label), take your pick, though I particularly like the 4th and 6th Symphony recordings. Also, the Harmonia Mundi releases have been uniformly very good to excellent--the de Falla Tri-Cornered Hat/Nights in the Gardens of Spain disc has been one I have returned to a lot, though the piccolo in the former can come across as shrill as it does in real life. And Julia Fleischer's recordings for Pentatone, especially the Mozart concerti, are excellent.

Kurt_tank: please direct me to the Satanic music. But no heavy metal.

There are so many good SACD recordings in each genre that knowing a bit
more precisely your likes and dislikes would be useful. And there are so
many great recordings, limiting it to three would be a shame.

As a start, in classical, I have not yet found a recording on Channel Classics,
bis, Pentatone, or the Living Stereo re-releases labels that was not excellent.
Personal favorites are Janos Starker performing the Bach Cello Suites, Peter
Wispelwey on cello at Channel Classics, and an unusual disc called Prieres
sans Paroles by Hardenberger and Preston on the bis label - a collecton of
French music for organ and trumpet. The list goes on...

In Jazz, there's a lot of stuff to choose from, and given that your system does
not show a turntable, a bunch of the 50s-70s jazz from Miles Davis, Bill
Evans, Cannonball Adderley and other great artists of the time will show off
the SACD format, and sound better than any CD issue I've heard. Personally, I
like the re-released jazz SACDs off the Analogue Productions label, Dave
Brubeck's Time Out (decent improvement over CD), Ella & Louis, M. Sasaji and
the L.A. Allstars, most of the Miles Davis SACDs (especially the Japanese ones)
are better than redbook CD versions, with an especially big thank you to
Analogue Productions for a a couple of theirs, Bill Evans, and for some
reason, Herbie Hancock's albums seem particularly well-suited to SACD.

In Blues, the first three Eric Bibb discs, the Keb' Mo discs, and the Junior Wells
disc I have are all great, and the Keb' Mo and Eric Bibb discs' music happens
to highlight the strengths of the SACD format as well.

Folk/Country: Appalachian Journey is a favorite. I like a few of the Allison
Krauss discs, and there are a couple of decently mastered Nick Drake discs if
you are so inclined.

Other: The two Los Angeles Guitar Quartet recordings I have are both great.

And the list just goes on...

You might try www.sa-cd.net/reviews/ to read what others have said. There
is at least one other website out there as well reviewing SACDs, and there is a
lot of good commentary/review on SACD music on the Hi-Rez forum at
AudioAsylum.
