All great information, and a nice update. Thanks to all, @fuzztone great article and analogy, @whipsaw I ordered Hank Moble@chorus I just found out that elusive disc took over JVCs XRCD operations, so they are still available new. Also @mr_m I’m looking for the drum and tack Xrcd, have only found it in regular cd.
Experience with XRCDs
Does anyone have experience or opinions on the JVC XRC process. I researched Audiogon and found a lot of older posts, but because I’m new to XRCDs I thought this may be a good topic. I bought an XRCD just to see how they sound, Aaron Neville “Warm Your Heart.” All I can say is WOW! The recording is smooth, clear and detailed, lots of bass..I’m so impressed because I’m a SACD collector and all I can say is that SACDs sound a touch thinner, not in a bad way. The XRCD however is polished, full, with a clarity thats just well “wonderful “. What are your thoughts? Is this an attribute of XRCDs in general or just the album in general. Thanks for sharing.
