I didn't mean to be a dick in my first post. No more stick poking. We all would like to know some of the expensive stinkers you've heard. SACD's are expensive enough, and buying a golden turd is a real setback to my entertainment budget.
I have one SHM SACD and it is excellent: Tommy. But then the initial domestic release wasn't very good, so not tough to beat that.
I have one other expensive Japanese EMI SACD: Brahms' German Requiem. It is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, so much better than redbook.
It's true there are plenty of rare SACD's that might fetch $50 and not be worth it, but I haven't got any in my collection of 250+. I have bought and sold a lot (more than 50) of SACD's I didn't like, but it usually wasn't due to the sound.
Now, Peace?
