HDCDs from China?


All over E-bay are HDCDs from China. I have bought a few of these with mixed quality results. They claim to be legitimate, but I am having my doubts. Most seem to be double or triple albums of popular artists for $10-20. Does anyone know anything about these, legit, ripoffs, garbage?

Are there any HDCD labels from the USA?

Thanks

I had a friend who returned from a trip to China and came back with the latest Matrix movie. One week after the movie was released in the theater. The packaging was very professional looking. He showed it to me on a computer screen and after a few minutes there was a shadow of a head from someone walking in front of the movie theater screen. I have no doubt that this could happen on any form of media.

I was born and raised in the US but having a wife who is from China and educated at the university level in both countries (Masters degree in China and Law degree in the US) provides for a unique insight into the practices in that country.

Best Regards,
The 24 karat gold digitally remastered HDCD release "The Platters' Platinum Collection" on the Chinese Prime label is outstanding.
Hi,

I'm interested in buying some of these chinese HDCD's.

How and where do I find them?

Thanks,

I have purchased some of these Chinese gold HDCDs. I felt the soung quality to be rough at best. The highs are piercing. I don't know if they are legit or not. I see gold 3 CD sets going for $9.95 on eBay. Just doesn't seem right does it? They definitely don't sound better than the domestic aluminum CDs of same titles. AND, the quality of the jewel cases is pathetic. Caveat emptor from this listener. BTW: The color doesn't seem right either. They don't quite look like DCC or MFSL gold stuff. I have had good luck with Japanese, Taiwan and Hong Kong gold releases though. Just ordered a 24bit gold version from Singapore as an experiment.
I agree with Rja. Half of the Beatles collection on HDCD gold discs for $9.95 just doesn't seem right. I have difficulty believing they have legal license for these recordings.
