XRCD: to be or not to be...


How are these new xrcds? I see them on various websites. Pricey. Are they worth it? I could get, for example, Bill Evans Waltz for Debbie for $26.99. Is that a rip or the going rate? I own the regular cd. Will the new format do it? How about, compared to, say, 20 bit remastering ones? Anyone with experience re the xrcd would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys. warren

yes they are way better than the original,i have a few of them,BUT STAY AWAY FROM "AUTUM IN SEATTLE"it is the wors ever recording ever ,you hear a noise(electronic noise)
i sent back the cd to FIM and the owner told me that the noise was coming from the recording tape that they use during the recording session.the noise is very disturbing and is not subtle.so other than that XRCD are fantastic
