JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash?


I am considering purchasing some, do they really sound better than the standards? How about the "gold" and the like?

Forgive my stupidity, but where can I find a complete list of XRCD's? I tried JVC's site, no luck. Thanks, Jeff
Yes, I have Google. xrcd.com does not have Dire Straits or CCR xrcd's listed, yet it seems they are available since some of my fellow 'Goners own copies. The xrcd.com list does not have any rock music at all; but if you're looking for jazz, blues, and classical you're all set ($30 a copy). The list looks a lot like the SACD titles available. I'm very curious what the XRCD rock releases sound like, if anyone knows where I can find a complete list I'd like to browse through the selection and buy a few. Thanks, Jeff
XRCD.COM is owned by JVC and, if it's not on there, it doesn't exist.
As to cost, you can often find xrcd's at cheapcds.com, tower.com for somewhat of a discount.
Jeff; The newly re-mastered CCR CDs are not XRCDs. They have been recorded using what JVC calls "K2 20 bit Super Coding". I don't know how this technically differs from XRCD, but the CCR recordings using it are much better than the originals. Cheers. Craig
