Thanks Ted
I am having a heck of a time finding Kodo-Mondohead,they are all backordered.
I love the Ladysmith Black Mambazo,Ray Charles,and will try the i ching.
I was wondering if anyone tried the Frank Zappa SACD?
I have set up my system for multichannel(i love this format).

HI,
For chinese and japanese music I buy at this two online stores already afew years, nothing wrong til now, they have many kodo drums and percussions SACDs and audiophiles SACDs.

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/index.html Great for Enka and Japanese POP SACDs from today and the past. Good points plan with every purchase. Nice strong package box. SACD prices range from 25-30 US dollars most items.  Site have full English language and Google translation option attached for SACDs linernotes, almost every SACD have music samples to listen.  Ship from Tokyo.

http://www.hifi-cd.com/en/index.html?javaID=46edcebdb33cab67616ddf94599a3f3c
Great reliable, family shop, SACDs prices range from 17 to 22 US dollars, some less famous and chinese folk SACDs are 12-15 dollars.  Site have English language bottom for easy reading. No music samples to listen though.  Good points plan too.  Ship from Hong Kong.
OVER 130 US DOLLARS THERE IS AUTOMATIC FREE SHIPPING TO ALL COUNTRIES !!

There is only two Zappa SACDs released, they are Classical Music, not Prog Rock as I expected, so I not buy it yet.

Good Luck, Gustavo

Sorry, the Zappa symphonies Pentatone SACD is not FZ, but from a composer from the 18 century.
Just listen the FZ Opus3 music samples and it looks a easy listening or easy to like music, deserve a try. The OPUS3 recording is great too.

Ditto!  Just received an Elusive Disc gift certificate for Father's Day.  BTW, if you ever receive a Border's gift certificate and click on Music it takes you over to Amazon where they have over 1700 titles on SACD.

Also, there are numerous audiophile labels as well.  Chesky records prices are very reasonable.  There is also Pentatone and Reference Recordings is now producing SACD's.  Give this website a look as well:  http://www.sa-cd.net/

Red Rose Music

What a cheap way to get some Levinson recordings.

They seem to be dirt cheap at Acoustic Sounds for $37 shipped for 5 SACDS.

If anyone knows where I can get "Live recordings are red rose music", please let me know.

Why buy SACD? Downloads are superior!

No flame wars guys.  Just answer the thread question or start one of your own.

I have a few of the Living Stereo discs that have only been listened to once.  I paid about 8 bucks each for them when they were new, and will happily sell them to you for the same price.  PM me if you'd like a list.
