Jeff Buckley’s “Grace” on SACD (2014 fixed Columbia release) is a stunning album, both musically and sonically

Muddy Wasters “Folk Singer” SACD; Classic Americana Blues.
Still hard to comprehend how this 1964 recording transfer onto SACD sounds so good. Sonically a 9 out of 10 for sure.

I have the DSD128 version of it from HDTT.
Sound quality is excellent here too.
The Dynamic Range of the HDTT version is 13dB (the SACD version should be quite similar), so well above average records.

Yes. I have the mfsl one step vinyl of this. I have heard it presented on numerous systems including local dcs/wilson/dagostino system. Very cool recording. The natural sound on it can be quite remarkable. I also notice on even the best systems it really shows how well or poorly a system is set up. The recording engineer, in his desire to add depth to the recording, built in depth using the adjacent spaces to create volume. When heard ( i believe as intended) most natural, it can sound quite stunning. when not, dynamic but not believable. great choice

Oliver Nelson “The Blues and the Abstract Truth”, SACD (Esoteric Impulse! Boxset).
Another fantastic SACD transfer from a 1961 recording. Serious toe-tapper to boot!

I think that their live version ‘Cortez the Killer’ is better than Neil Young’s…
It’s epic!

Really enjoy what this young French singer is doing. Liked her when she was the frontwoman of the electro-pop band “L’impératrice” and even liked her more since she left and then create her own Jazz-band!
