This is until I quite buying CDs altogether.

I listen mostly to Classical and Jazz. And my favorite recordings are from Telarc, Delos, RCA Living Stereo, Mercury Living Presence and Reference Recordings. So all but Reference Recordings are releasing SACDs.

And I also like audiophile Jazz, and I just know some will tune in here but the first Jazz recording I ever heard was an Audiophile Jazz record of Harry James Big Band's King James Version on Sheffield Lab Direct to Disc LP, with many other Jazz Direct to Discs to follow.

The first non-audiophile Jazz recordings I ever heard were on SACD and that is true with many non-audiophile recordings.

Before SACD I bought almost NO non-audiophile recordings. So while some here have discovered Classical and/or Jazz with SACD. My discovery was non-audiophile recordings from many labels. And I also own the most non-classical recordings ever.

From 1975 about 1990 I listened to Classical Music only on LPs and Reel to Reel tapes and it was mostly Audiophile and European pressings (Reference Recordings, Telarc, MFSL Classical Only, Barclay-Crocker, Ampex and Stereotape Reel to Reels) Anyway you get the idea.

Thanks to SACD my musical tastes have moved beyond Classical music and I have acquired a lot of Rock recordings I liked when I was a teenager. It was Audiophile classical that brought me to SACD but I bought many a Rock and Jazz SACD just because it was an SACD and discovered I liked a lot more music than I thought. I did listen first with either the listening stations at local record stores or on the internet with streaming audio. Though there is still a lot of music I dislike and I still prefer to play Classical music most of the time because it touches my soul and heart in a way non-classical music never will. But it is good to have variety.

Happy listening,
Teresa
