Mike,

Those are definitely some nice buys !


caupina,

Another awesome deal ! I bought this SACD recently but I paid more than $12.99.

Just won on e-Bay: Genesis: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway SACD

This by far is the most difficult Genesis SACD to find and also one of the priciest.

Just bought:

Chet Baker - In New York SACD

I've been looking at this SACD for awhile and just found it on Amazon for $13.04 shipped so I couldn't resist a bargain .

Bill

Just received my copy from Wal-Mart. The DVD-Audio disc is excellent. Haven't listened to the other 2 discs in the package yet. Never been a huge LS fan but after listening to this DVD-A, I am impressed with the sonics and music. Very well done mix.

Thanks for posting the link.

Demo quality "smooth jazz" titles I recommend -

Botti "Night Sessions"
DiMeola "Consequence Of Chaos", "Flesh On Flesh"
Najee "My Point Of View"
Pieces Of A Dream "Love's Silhouette", "No Assembly Required"

The Spyro Gyra titles are also good, but may not be considered smooth jazz. And the Yellow Jackets are more straight ahead jazz.

I have Gerald Veasley "Velvet" but haven't listened to it yet. My guess is that it should be on my recommended smooth jazz list. Oh, and the classic Grover Washington Jr "Winelight" is also stunning.

All titles above are 5.1.

Jeff

Thanks for the suggestions!

I'll have to check out the Chris Botti, Najee and a few of the others I don't have. I've got the DiMeola SACDs which are quite impressive, and the Spyro Gyra SACDs are also very enjoyable.

Darn I still haven't found time to listen to mine , color me impress by 3 disc packaging for the price of this, I think I read it was a Wal-mart exclusive right?

Thanks a good one Bill, nice Sunday afternoon music

DJoel

peaceful music might help ease the pain after a tough Giants loss

..Ah they never start all that great or rather win more than they need to

Just breaking balls--they're still the champs until someone dethrones them.

Did you ever pickup that Radiohead bluray? I can't stop listening to it.

Ahhhhh hello . Pats fan here, talk about breaking balls .

Bill

Amazon has it too but it is a lot more expensive. Heckova deal from Walmart.

Ok, you sold me.
With the coupon points I had with CDJapan it cost ~$20 total, FWIW.
That said, I'm done with SHM-SACD in my own limited way.

Yup that would be the order of things, especially in this sport, you don't see too many 3peats in the NFL, hm not too knowledgeable about history of but there aren't too many Bulls, Lakers , or Yankees in this sport.

No, I'm so poor these days, acually more so looking out for the good good deals

OK I forgot about that...Yeah, it was expensive at Amazon..

Djoel

Well Bill, you can always turn it to your benefit, just think of the Pats going to the big game insteed of the Chargers

Hey Dan,

Very true, although the AFC looks very tough this year as does the NFC.

Bill

There was some discussion about "smooth jazz" titles, I picked up David Sanborn's "Time Again" on
DVD-A (96/24 stereo and 5.1) at a fairly reasonable price, I can recommend getting it... Nice SQ &
mix, good musicianship and selection of covers & originals. Steve Gadd, Christian McBride, Don Alias,
Russell Malone and Mike Mainieri play with Sanborn on the album.

Gosh, I have that Sanborn title ... for some reason it didn't jump out at me when I perused my spreadsheet. Yes, you are correct, it should be included on any hi-res, smooth jazz list.

Being a Dan fan, I have looked at some Steve Gadd titles ... Gadd Gang comes to mind specifically ... are they good?

Jeff

Does anybody have the title "Captains Journey" by Lee Ritenour? Reviewing my wish list for Gadd and I have come across this "Japan 2011 1st Press Only Limited Edition SHM-SACD / 2CH Single Layer." As you might already know, I am suspicious of SHM and 2 ch, so I am looking for feedback.

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,

I looked on sa-cd.net and there is for feedback on this title. I also looked on Amazon and even the CD looks pricey. Unless it is a title you are familar with I would avoid spending $60 on the SHM-SACD.

Bill

Thanks. It is a fabulous album, but I can't justify the price.

Jeff

Just bought:

Fred Jackson - Hootin' 'N Tootin' APO SACD

Bill

Bought and received Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies.. DVD-A for a good price now adays..

Listening to Southern Surroundings The Ultymate Skynyrd Collection, and it sounds so good..If you're a fan this is a must, if you love great recording music like me go and get this..

DJoel

Just wondering if anyone has noticed that the newer dvd audio discs being released don't seem to sound as good as the older releases. I can't blame the age of the music because my Eagles Hotel California and others sound awesome in the surround format. The last 2 I bought were Rush Moving Pictures and the Lynyrd Skynyrd Southern Surroundings and I feel that the sound quality is not nearly as good. They both seem to sound good in 2 channel but the surround mixes seem to lack the punch of the eariler released discs or even the 2 channel mix. Even though Hotel California has a 192khz 2 channel mix I think the 5.1 mix sounds better. Any thoughts?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see some new dvd audio releases but I feel the sound quality could be better. A note on the Lynyrd Skynyrd release: The concert dvd was worth the price paid since their old footage is hard to come by. I wouldn't mind paying more for dvd audio releases if the sound quality was as good as they once were.
