After getting my 333, I want to try some new cds other than the sacd sampler it came with

Anyway I am primarily looking for some Hendrix, Clapton, or some classical preferably by Beethoven. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure how big the selection is but I did see some SACDs at Best Buy.

I, too, would like to know the best place to get SACD's, e.g. online. I'm looking for ones besides all the Sony/Columbia ones that Best Buy has, e.g., Human League - Dare; Best of Simple Minds; Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Rage Hard (yes, it's just another best of); Cowboy Junkies - Open; etc. Some of the Hyperion ones, perhaps.

The selection around here is miserable. I found the SACD's stowed with the DVD-A's, DAD's, and DTS CD's at Tower; at Borders, they say, "what's that?" (my answer: it's another high-resolution format like DVD-A [they start to lead me towards the DVD-A's] but different [they stop...pause...look at me like a deer in the headlights...shrug...].).

PS This was my 2000th post. Now I can get the headruloaner blockhead. Of course, don't have time for it right now, but now I can, anyway. Will do so at some point in the future.

Hello. This is a list I got off of Audio Asylum that has been very helpful for buying SACDs and emptying my wallet.

In Canada, you can try:
www.hmv.ca
www.absound.ca

but don't pass on US on-line sources like:

www.amusicdirect.com
www.elusivedisc.com
www.acousticsounds.com
www.superaudio-cd.com (for those real hard to find titles)
www.towerrecords.com
www.amazon.com

I found that the fastest and best service come from any of the following three sources:

www.amusicdirect.com
www.elusivedisc.com
www.acousticsounds.com


I've dealt with AcousticSounds and elusive disc before.
I prefer elusive disc better because their web page is easier to search and get around. They have good specials to every now and then.
Happy hunting!
