    Okay folks, got another one for you and I apologize in advance for listing one that may or may not be unobtainum at a reasonable cost.

    This one was brought to my attention from a good friend of mine named Mark, who is a radio engineer in a state close to me. He had mentioned this album and I tried to find it. At the time, I could not find it to save my life. I mentioned to him that I tried to find it years later and he couldn't find it either. We spoke often about this particular album and after probably 4 years, he found a copy at a reasonable cost.

    I snapped on it within 3 minutes.

    I got it. listened to it and was impressed but at the time, did not have the SACD player I have now. It sounded decent but not worthy of what he was raving about.

    Now that I have a reference SACD player, I decided today to put it in rotation once again.

    WOW.

    That's all I can say. Sound appears from a completely blank slate and a performance appears out of nowhere. This is not mainstream music for those who wish to read on. This is audiophile music at its top notch reference level. One of the best SACD's I own, if not the best.....I'll have to shuffle through the rest again to find out.

    What I am saying is that if you want your rig to perform at its absolute best? Get this album. It's worth the wait if you don't mind "audiophile music". Like I said, it's not mainstream....what it is....is simply SUPERBLY recorded music.

    Good luck on finding it at a reasonable cost is all I can say. Mark had mentioned that a couple of them had gone for less than what I bought mine for but our communication wasn't timed right in order for me to acquire it at the time. It kept getting snagged up too soon.

    Now that I have it? It was worth the wait. This gem sounds incredible.

    Plan on coming by. I will NOT accept an answer other than "yes". Drive straight here if you have too. You can stay the night here. I have a couple of unused bushes you can sleep on. Sorry in advance, I have no sheep or goats but the neighbor might.

    BTW, I forgot to mention, the above album is a Hybrid SACD.
