3) FIM – Audiophile Reference IV (Great for demoing the system)
4) Stockfisch – Closer to The Music vol. 1.

6) Tutti - Orchestral Sampler
7) Concerto Veneziano - Giuliano Carmignola


Will also be getting:

Who said SACD was dead.

    You gotta get Sonny Rollins "under the bridge". It was the first album after he was released from the nut house. Great work.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    That would put you in your 60's then. Perhaps just a different genre.

    For me it was down to the Cary and Esoteric. I went with the Esoteric as I thought it had the edge.

    My girlfriend got me the Bob Dylan hybrid SACD box set for Christmas. It's got 16 discs, all remastered in SACD, 5 of them are multi-channel, and the rest are 2-ch. She's making me wait until Christmas for it though...I can't wait to check it out. I have like 4 of the CD's that are in it already, but they aren't the remastered versions. Only 5 more days though...

    I don't have an SACD player right now, but it is one of the next things on my list after my speaker upgrades. They're all hybrid SACD's though, so I'll still be able to listen to them until I do get one.
