I have a good number of the RCA Living Stereo reissues on XRCD. While I agree with the above posters that they seem to sound better than the conventional CDs of the same material, even the RCA remasterings (I would call them fuller, more analog-like--the ones that Russell mentions are particularly good), I have yet to hear one that, in my opinion and heard over an EMM Labs combo (perhaps that has something to do with it), sounds as good as the SACD version of the same title, though it's close, and certainly not as good as the vinyl reissues of the same titles from Classic Records. If your sole source is Redbook, though, and you like a fuller, more harmonically rich sound, I think you'd like the classical XRCDs.
