The Mercury SACDs I have heard have been superb. Perhaps the
"Nutcracker", which came from a film recording, is not quite as good as
the others, but it is still pretty good. I plan to get all 15 while they are available.
The RCA Living Stereo series also has outstanding sound quality.
To my mind, this is how an archive of important recordings should be
preserved.
