Listening to Now In SACD Stereo (or Mono)

[Clement]

Vocalion stereo SACD through the SM v.2. Great Shorter composition on this one: "Port of Entry." He's stellar throughout . . . as usual!

Weather Report - Night Passage

 

[The Rang]

Chantal Chamberland - Soiree

Nice SACD from this Canadian singer. Sung entirely in French, very smooth.
Released by Evosound, though originally issued in 2014 on an indie label.

Used to be a huge fan of Manilow as a kid. Mom had his albums. About 10 years ago I went back and put some of his music back in my library. Huge respect for his songwriting talents.

Brand new from MOFI, released 2/28/2023 stereo. My #2169. Orginally released 1973. Has that sweet Muscle Shoals sound.
DR's are 11, 13's, 14's, 15.

Just going to go all MOFI stereo tonight, surround takes my brain working a lot and many times I just like the simplicity of good stereo.

For Dead studio albums, this is my favorite.

Los Lobos 1992 release Kiko. MOFI Hybrid SACD release stereo 2013.
I forget how some of these random albums are so good.

I bought this too (#258) and have only listened to "Kodachrome" - nice sound but I didn't like the mix. The voices are too recessed.

YES BIG GENERATOR [ATCO Records/Stereo SACD/7" packaging] A little brittle but eminently listenable

Eh... Good dynamics, but a bit thin on tonality. Very common for 1987.

That’s what the eq controls are for! I prefer to boost the bass rather than the treble, but that’s just me.

The Fred Jackson is good, must look for the Eddie Harris

I see the Eddie Harris is on the Venus label. Do not have any of their discs.
How are they?

It's the only one I bought. Good fidelity, great music. Been meaning to pick up Pharoah Sanders. What little I've heard from other members, they've been pleased with the sound of titles they bought. Not cheap though...

I was able to get a few VENUS single layer SACDs through Deep Discount for under $15 but the majority of them are priced at $40 domestically [a bit cheaper @ CDJapan but those s/h fees]!!!!!!!

Acoustic Sounds shows 361 VENUS SACD titles but a majority are back ordered:
