K2 HDCD Recordings


Well, I just pulled the trigger on the most expensive CD I have ever purchased Miles Davis Kind Of Blue remastered in K2HDCD from Music Direct. My Cary player does not read this in HDCD. Just a word of warning. It sounds pretty good. But, the Columbia 50 year remaster at 1/4 the cost...This is deceptive flase adverstising as I see it.

On Music Direct's site this cd is advertisted as being HDCD. I agree that Music Direct is being careless than deceptive. I should have done more research before ordering as I also ordered Dave Brubect's Time Out.
Live and learn I guess...
I just compared the Sony K2HD Kind of Blue to the 50th Anniversity remaster Columbia. The K2HD has higher gain so you need to volume match. I think the Columbia remaster is just as good at 1/4 the price. I did email Music Direct for a ra#. I'll see what happens as they do not do refunds on music. I'm not here to bad mouth Music Direct. I just wish that these recordings were HDCD as advertised. These recodings are not cheap. $39.99 each.
Music Direct just sent me an RA#. I will be refunded as well. They will also be checking the ad for K2HD recordings. Good people there as Music Direct...
