It should be obvious by now that the quality of the sacd medium to bring an accurate and more detailed copy of the subtelty of the original sound is totally lost on most pop listeners.Even those listeners who have the equipment and post on this forum seem to prefer the sound of "converted low res digital".
I am a pop/jazz fan and there is no way I prefer "converted low res digital". I have good equipment and other than listening to CD in the car, FM is horrendous, I don't even listen to CD's. I only play DVD-A and SACD on my music system. Unfortunately for me there isn't a whole lot to listen to. However I'll be getting Paranoid and Brain Salad Surgery next month. Not expecting much from either of them but at least they are surround and high rez.

I will not be going back to vinyl it doesn't offer surround. Probably wouldn't even if they tried those old formats anyway.

In a way it's been good because I've discovered Eleanor McEvoy and I found some good smooth jazz I like. I've always had a few classical music discs but I find that after the initial newness wears off I very seldom play them.

As for the thread request I'd like to see
Pink Floyd: Meddle, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall.
ELP: Pictures at an Exhibition.
Rennissance: Live at Carnegie Hall.
Loreena McKennitt: Any of her albums.
Steely Dan: Aja.
Payl Simon: Graceland and Heart and Bones.

51surr,

Loreena McKennitt: Any of her albums.

^ I have complete catalogue of hers, I think... but I'd be the first to pre-order these SACDs, that would be true SA-CD experience!

For rock, some Jimi Hendrix would be nice. I just got Deep Purple's "Machine Head," but it does not have the bonus tracks listed on the cover!

For classical, I need some Sorabji, Penderecki, Lindberg, Xenakis, etc.

It's beyond me why Sony left out these two great albums from Dylan's trilogy...
