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.

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...
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...
