I have a few Telarc pre-recordeds on TDK SA, even better are the Telarcs on TDK Metal by Nakamichi Reference

Posted by Teresa on October 22, 2007 at 19:32:35:
I agree the Telarc's on TDK SA's that use 70us EQ do sound much better than the CD versions. This includes all the Classical releases, some of the Kunzel and a couple of the Jazz releases. The ones at 120us EQ are not as good but I think they are at least as good or better than the CD versions.

However for a real thrill find on Nakamichi Reference Recordings recorded in Real Time (1:1) on TDK Metal tape available with either Dolby B or Dolby C encoding. There are very close to the sound of Telarc SACDs!
