Fantasy SACDs

206.16.14.254

BTW, I don't have many of those SACDs. The ones folks feel are the best amongst what has been released from them pale in comparison to Chesky, APO, MPS/Verve and other jazz SACD recordings I have using the XA777ES. I didn't feel the need to try more and I agree there isn't much improvement over the 20 bit remasters.

One of the overall problems with migration to SACD with jazz is that so many recordings have been remastered a number of times and in many cases at a much lower cost than buying the SACD and then an additional player. Now I'm not saying I question the sound quality of SACD but many folks have high quality CD players already and if they can get 90 to 95% out of what they would from SACD by buying those CDs and at a much lower cost without having to buy another player...

I think I may try one of the Keepnews Collection remaster recordings recently released at a low price. I'm curious about them. Here is a link to one: http://www.audaud.com/article.php?ArticleID=2677
