What's the best price available for these Blue Note XRCD's and where should you buy? I buy most of my cd's at amazon and I know the cost there will not have much of any discount.
Blue Note Jazz XRCD Series
I'm posting this in the vinyl forum because I think it might well be of interest.
I got the first four titles in this series a couple days ago. In short, they are so much better than any other redbook digital I have heard it's pretty stunning. Surely they beat most SACD recording as well; they are consistently the closest thing to vinyl I have heard on digital, via my Audio Note DAC.
I believe good vinyl probably has more detail but what's pretty revolutionary here is the total, complete absence of ANY kind of digital glare or hardness AND instrument timbres that seem dead-on accurate. Digital not being able to do horn (especially sax) tonalities right has been my biggest complaint with it and the biggest reason I've stuck with vinyl.
Just wanted to throw that out there.
