JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash?


I am considering purchasing some, do they really sound better than the standards? How about the "gold" and the like?

Sean; Yep, big CCR fan here, and besides those mentioned, I have several other CCR compilations. At some point I may trade in the original set-- but hey, they could be collectible some day, so no rush-- and they are paid for. Now that I have a good CD recorder, anything is possible with all these CCR CDs;>)

It seems I never did answer the thread question though. I only have a couple XRCDs, and not of my favorite music, but the recordings are excellent. Cheers. Craig
Craig, your last comment brings up an EXCELLENT source for another thread. Gotta start typing now : ) Sean

Forgive my stupidity, but where can I find a complete list of XRCD's? I tried JVC's site, no luck. Thanks, Jeff
Yes, I have Google. xrcd.com does not have Dire Straits or CCR xrcd's listed, yet it seems they are available since some of my fellow 'Goners own copies. The xrcd.com list does not have any rock music at all; but if you're looking for jazz, blues, and classical you're all set ($30 a copy). The list looks a lot like the SACD titles available. I'm very curious what the XRCD rock releases sound like, if anyone knows where I can find a complete list I'd like to browse through the selection and buy a few. Thanks, Jeff
