The manufacturing on the xrcds is higher quality I believe. I am very happy with the K2's ... they are fantastic.
K2 remasters?
Hi,
Over the last month or so at the local record shops (locally owned woo-hoo!) I've seen and bought several jazz discs labeled K2 remasters. Now I believe the K2 proccess is what's used to make XRCD's, so I'm wondering how do the K2's differ from the XRCD's soundwise. The K2's are regular cd prices as opposed to the XRCD's which are close to $25. Also, I think they sound great! I've gotten Bill Evans "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" and "Waltz for Debby" as well as Eric Dolphy "Far Cry". I've noticed a bunch more which I'll be slowly accumulating. Soundwise the music really projects out into the room, there's tons of air around everything, lots of background details just great. If you haven't checked these out you should, and if you can tell me more about them, or where to find more, or find them at better prices let me know.
