Best Places to buy SACDs

[audioguy3107]

I purchase most of my SACDs from Acoustic Sounds but I also really like Arkiv Music for classical. They have album reviews as well as an incredible selection to choose from. Can’t go wrong there for classical music

I just tried to visit Bluecoast and can't get their website to come up. Hopefully, they haven't been overtaken by circumstances also.

There are a lot of ISP issues and slowdowns still across many web sites from the Century link outages, hope that is why?

Thanks for this recommendation!

By far the best source I have found for classical SACDs and blu rays is <mdt.co.uk>. Shipping is fast and reasonable.

Several of the SACDs I've gotten from Japan have been awful. Don't come close to the 10-15 year old remastered versions they were going to replace

I was in Tokyo a short while back and visited the Tower Records in Shibuya. I picked up a good number of SACDs there. I would look to online purchasing from Japan as SACD is very popular there with audiophiles.

Curious which ones were? All I’ve ever bought especially the SHM are spectacular.
