First SACD I have bought in years. Recently, I started playing my Japanese SACDs, and remembered how great they sound. The Sony XA-5400 is a great SACD/CD player. Sony really messed up when they stopped selling these after only a few years.

Grandissima Gravita - Sonatas by Pisendel, Tartini, Veracini & Vivaldi

    Anyone else got any must-hear SACD recommendations (besides DSOTM)? And where do you guys purchase your SACDs?
