and I have a few of the older ones that aren't terrible, but the SACDs are noticeably cleaner sounding.
If you're into the 60s rock/blues/folk scene, my sisters got me Bob Dylan's box set of 14 albums/15 discs which while not my cup of tea, sound really nice. You see a lot of these discs for sale, for cheap, if you don't want to splurge on the entire package.
You might follow Ebay for a while and see if you can cherry pick some deals down the road.
Get a list in order, or just buy what you see, which is what most of us here did in the very beginning, just buy what was out there and looked interesting.
Most were hits, some were misses, like Billy Holliday, the Miles Davis Christmas Eve recording in NYC and even the Janis Joplin number.
I stopped at about ~177 discs, which I still have today.
Ted Smith, one of the mods here and early adpoters, I think had close to every title printed--4,500+ at last count!
