Help with a de-emphasis list?

Schipo, Interestingly enough, my Krell KPS25sc, ($22500.00), circa 2003. One of, if not THE finest sounding CD player, ever. Once in a while, the HDCD light goes on, or this 'emphasis' lettering goes on, and I am put back in my chair... Mouth agape...
I knew this encode scenario went away in the Eighties, so I wonder if it was utilized perhaps more than the industry let on. There is NO mention of this feature in the manual!
Not hard to believe JA is clueless to this. Extra HF should be heard without the decode, right?
Perhaps I should be asking about pop CDs produced in the Eighties that were bright and harsh? Then off to ebay and the 1 cent CD sale!

N, I have no exclusive knowledge here. You read for yourself that which ever way the wind blows today... The ink is, yes, why I asked for a members list. It is recent ink too, I might add. Since most of the Eighties pop sounded bright and harsh, I do indeed wonder if the Pre was implemented more than the industry let on. The recording industry that is. There are threads here as well, just type 'pre-emphasis'. Thanks for the other pastes. I am still hoping for other members with the proper players or intact memories to help with a list of material.

N, Here is another interesting observation; when this Petty CD is in my DVD player, the digital stream to my pre/pro will not allow any post processing! To listen to 5 channel stereo or DTS neo, etc, I have to go analog in. 'Splain that to me...

Shadorne, So once again it comes down to implementation. I will have to bring this CD with me to auditions, in addition to my demo favs. I talked to Benchmark today, and they confirmed a flag trips the de-emp circuit. I have been wanting to audition their dac. Perhaps I can report back on it's accuracy in this regard.
