Excellent cd's. They have less edge than typical cd's. More analog like. If all my cd's were XRCD, I would listen less to vinyl. May sound like heresy, but it is closer to vinyl (good vinyl)and not all vinyl is great.
JVC XRCDs -- your experience?
Recently picked up my first JVC XRCD title, Sara K's "Hell or High Water." The sound is stunning, though I must say that I have found her regular redbook CD recordings (on Chesky) to also be very good. So, my question is, what do other Audiogoners think of the XRCD format? Also, any recommendations for other great recordings in that format (especially in acoustic-based jazz and female vocalist recordings)?
Thanks and Happy Listening!
