HDCD recommendations??

Hi. I love many types of music, and still favor my Arcam HDCD player over my newer 24-bit unit. The better HDCD discs just sound better to me. Among my favorite are the Beck "Sea Change" disc, Patrica Barber's Cafe Blue, the Tom Petty "Tracks" collection, and a few others. I don't know much about classical, but like tracks with bass drum and percussion. Any other HDCD must haves?

One the Beach Boys greatest hits albums in HDCD. If you like, I will find out which one it is. We have two of their greatest hits CDs and they both sound good, but only one is HDCD.

Jacques Loussier playing Eric Satie's Gymnopedies was my favourite HDCD when I had an HDCD player

FYI

Steve Hoffman recently announced he won't be using HDCD technology anymore as it degrades the sound. http://stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=246642

Just received Elephant Revival's Break In The Clouds. Sounds like a good one and it's HDCD encoded.
