Ok...so my neighbor flees california and dumps a couple of
cheapo surround systems in a box on my doorstep and in
scrounging through them I find a Pioneer Universal DVD
players that plays SACDs.

So I'm gonna buy my first SACD....
What should I get?
Something I already have and try the comparison of remixed
material route or just get something that is the best that
SACD has to offer?

And where.... these guys claim they offer every SACD
available.

DVD-A

Yoshi - Battle of the Pink Robots

My existing player has DVD-A and I've
got a couple discs, Fleetwood Mac being one.
Sound is great.

SACD

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Sounds like a good option for comparison.
I've got my old vinyl, an early CD, the
30th Anniversary Japan release.

Roxy Music - Avalon

Thanks for the recomendations.

A music search for "[HYBRID SACD]" on Amazon gets 26 hits.

If you like Dylan, sign up at yourmusic.com and buy the box set of SACD
hybrids at $5.99 each.

Depending on how much you like classical, there are mid-price Living
Stereo reissues as well as higher price Mercury. DG, Pentatone, Cybele,
BIS, etc have high quality new classical recordings, as does Telarc with
classical and jazz. Rolling Stones reissues are going out of print.

Maybe I should grab a few more of the earlier Stones... I mistakenly
bought one of the newer versions of Let It Bleed thinking it was just
the SACD repackaged in a jewel box, but it was only a pretty cruddy
sounding regular CD. Got the digipak SACD a little while later and it
sounded much more wonderful (though not surround sound).

The Moody Blues first few albums are available as imports from
Germany... (got mine via deepdiscountcd.com a month or two ago). The
first one is surround sound and look forward to finding out for myself
about the rest.

BMG music club has a couple dozen titles still... fairly cheap way to
get a bunch.

Wouldn't hurt to grab anything/everything that has Coltrane on it.

Offhand I've not been too disappointed with what I've listened to.

Oh, DVD-Audio-wise try to find a copy of Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms;
mine was a Dualdisc.

Lots of oldies, admittedly, but that's kind of the nature of the beast
(and probably at least a little bit of the reason why these formats
never took off).

Still thinking Tommy is the best rock album ever.

Maybe I'll try that one when I get surround going.
