enjoyable sacds

I am getting "Nashville Skyline" hybrid sacd in the mail, what else is a
worthy sacd pick?

For rock The Who, "My Generation". Several Miles Davis albums
including Sketches of Spain. If you're into classical you might go for
isaac Stern's Vivaldi or the Bernstein Gershwin (American in
Paris/Rhapsody/Grand Canyon Suite). But the real reason(s) to buy SACD
hasn't been issued, and probaly won't. There is a great deal of
material that could benefit from highbit that isn't getting there:

(From A****n:

"More seriously, many of the extant master tapes of some of these
sessions are of such quality that Compact Disk does not do them
justice. I have had the privilege-how and when are not for me to
disclose at this time- of hearing a small section of these tracks on
the very master tapes some of this set was mastered from, on a really
first rate high end system hooked to an Ampex deck with Boyk mechanical
ministrations and the notorious de Paravicini electronics. Hearing
these CDs, vintage U.S. release LPs, and the original tapes
successively made it clear that the LP's were somewhat closer in some
ways than the CDs to the tapes, and that the tapes were still better to
the extent that a future remaster to SACD or DVD-Audio, provided that
ADC's of sufficient quality are available, holds the promise of
sufficiently better sonics that hardcore audiophiles may well find
themselves buying this music yet one more time. Three hundred dollars
is not a colossal sum to most of the really serious audiophiles, but if
you are buying this as a lifetime investment you may want to factor
this in to your purchasing decisions. ")
