What's the latest Multichannel SACD or DVD-A added to your pile? - Vol 1 (CLOSED)

[LizardKing]

The Doobie Brothers - The Captain and Me (SACD)
Foreigner - 4 (SACD)

These were the only two of the Warner Japan SACDs that I didn't have on DVD-A. Passed on these when they originally came out - arghhh...

P.S. These are the first "new" SACDs that I've purchased since the Genesis sets.

Doors SACD showed up today. Caravanserai yesterday.

Played the Doors already. Wondering where the bass is. Anyone know?

Now I'm playing Caravanserai. Not quite sure this was worth $36. And I paid for Priority Mail, not First Class. These Music Direct people are just a bit dishonest. Ordered last Wednesday, took like a whole week to get it. Jerks.

They couldn't even mail it out on time. Here's their response:

"Thank you for your order with Music Direct. I apologize that your order did not ship yesterday. The shipping time provided is an estimate which we do our best to fulfill depending on the number of orders we receive at that time. Your order will ship out to you today. Thank you for your patience. "

update: well, ok, I guess it is worth $36 after all... it's quite good.

Cupboy, I don't believe that Music Direct is dishonest. THEY ARE MASSIVELY INEPT! I do a lot of business with them and that has been my experience. I was told by them several months ago that Caravanserai and Santana/McLaughlin were GOLD CD's, NOT SACD's. Clearly, this isn't true. Since Music Direct is the same company as MoFi, you'd think they'd have correct info on their own release!

Added these five Rhino Japan SACD's:

Fleetwood Mac - Rumors
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Eagles - Hotel California
Doors - Doors
Yes - Fragile

I've not heard these 5.1 mixes before due to the cost of the DVD-A's on the used market going for outrageous sums.

I've finally added Trapt's eponymous DualDisc thanks to an eBay trift find. The DVD side is DVD-A with 48/24 MLP, both 5.1 and 2.0. No playback problems on my Oppo BDP-80. The mix and SQ are actually better than I've expected, especially for a modern rock material.

Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink (Dolby Digital 5.1 DVD mix by Steven Wilson)

Better a DD 5.1 mix by Steven Wilson than a fake Silverline surround mix.

Went to the self proclaimed "largest record store in the world" - House of Guitars up in Rochester, NY this weekend. 4 levels of CD/LP/DVD/Vinyl, drums, keyborads and, you got it, guitars. It's a mess and pretty chaotic - CDs are kept in the old "longbox" style plastic security CD keepers and stored in beaten up cardboard boxes with artist names written in chicken scratch - wish I had my camera because it's kinda hard to describe. There is no "hi-rez" section but I did stumble across ( and I do mean stumble) the David Sanborn SACD "Timeagain" - picked it up for a reasonable $16.00. Haven't played it yet but I like Sanborn so I'm looking forward to it,.

I found Super Furry Animals - Love Kraft (SACD) on Amazon.de and ordered it. First I was shocked after opening the package since there isn't any info about SACD or 5.1 anywhere on the disc, the sticker, the cover, or the booklet. Since I often get regular CDs while I order SACD in Amazon.de Marketplace my first thought was: No, not again.
But I looked at the CD and it was shining golden (hope). And my player gave the proof that it is a 5.1 SACD (relief). And last but not least it seems to be nice music sounding very good (happiness).

Today received Nat King Cole Story SACD ($45.17) from Amazon. What's with the missing packing slips? Are they out of paper or just not using them anymore? This is the 2nd item received this week with no packing slip.

First thing I did was to get started in replacing the ugly "frosted" case. I had a nice new clear case ready to go but have misplaced it. I had no problem removing the disks. Some people had reported they fit too tight but the disks came out easily enough.

update: Found the case I had reserved for this. Looks great now. Anyone need a frosted case? Maybe I should save it for Nat's Shower Album in case it gets released on SACD.

I have actually found this to be about the most difficult to find. I have seen Can 5.1, Scorpions sacd among others offered for sale more than this one. The cd is silver colored the sacd is gold colored, cd 1 is a cd of B-sides cd 2 is the sacd and is a live concert. The UPC code is 5 034644 010502
