Listening to Now In SACD Stereo (or Mono)

Jeff Buckley GRACE [ORG/Stereo SACD] Simply MAGNIFICENT

 

[cbmmm3]

The only other HKs I have are Enigma (good) and Diana Krall’s Wallflower (so-so IMO).
I’ve heard parts of the Culture Club one, it’s very good.
The Cranberries seems to get mixed reviews. How is the Tears For Fears?

I have the Tears For Fears. Its not good - its very shrill or 'hot'.

 

[Quad Linda]

I've been pleased with HK SACD's over all.

Tears for Fears sounded OK to me. Admittedly, I haven't a/b'ed the tracks to my CD, the Seeds box, or the BD's. Nor have I had a chance to a/b the SACD's to CD's. Have been meaning to do that...

I also bought these HK SACD's:
Ultimate Manilow
Diana Ross
Always in My Heart - Los Indios Tabajaras
Belafonte at Carnegie 2ch 1 disc abbreviated
Best of Folk Songs

Various - The Best Of Folk Songs

hey Ralphie
this album was previously available in SACD 5.1 . I dont own it. It goes for mega bucks on the used market in this day and age. Been on the fence about getting this version, but seeing as it has the Ralph endorsement, looks like Ill be cracking open the wallet once again. thanks

According to the comments over at HRAudio.net, the multi~CH SACD [going for BIG bucks] was NO BIG DEAL in the surround department. Rest assured, this IS the version to get, Ricky!

A marvelous SACD Stereo blues album from Analogue Productions and still ONLY 5 BUCKS!

Illinois Jacquet - Swing’s the Thing

Really nice album, his tenor sounds rich and warm especially on Harlem Nocturne.
And the album cover is so cheesy I love it.

Is that the Relaxin’ on Analogue Productions?
I have the DCC so it’s always a tug of war when an SACD comes along
