XRCDs WOW

Spent the entire weekend (listening time, that is) enjoying 10 XRCDs I just purchased. (Bill Evans, Miles, Ray Bryant, Ella, Terry Evans and Art Tatum.) Unbelievable! I've often said, how wonderful it would have been if we had the technology, 50 years back, to record the greats. OK, they (XRs) are, still, not like today's stuff, but, man, it's the BEST I've ever heard these guys sound on Cd. Intimate, sweet on top, Sax never sounded better. Paul Motian's drum--forgeddabout it. You know all the lingo. Words just cannot do what a simple audition will do. I highly recommend checking out these babies. I'm doing another 10 as soon as my wife gets over the 10 I just bought. peace, warren

Yeah, I love those JVC XRCD2s too. Pretty darn amazing. Recently, I purchased a Pioneer DV45 and some SACDs that duplicate some of my XRCDs, so that will be an interesting and fun comparison.

The ones I have (3) are very very good indeed. Their cost is another issue in the Great White North. Try $68.95 plus 15% sales tax. Ouch.

I got them on line from JVC's website. Their entire catalog can be read. They have enough titles, for now, to keep me happy. I'm sure more are on the way. Do "google" with "xrcd" and the website will be the first thing you see. I'm at work, now, so I can't give you the exact website, but what I gave you, will do. Click on: you there. Then order, and you're really there. These are, truly, quite amazing. Happy listening..

Warren, if you don't have it you must get the Sarah Vaughn "Send in the Clowns" with The Count Basie Orchestra. Great performance along with sonics.
