K2 HDCD Recordings

I sent customer service an email about the situation. Let's see if they correct it. They have a lot of K2 HD CDs labeled at HDCD.

FWIW I own many K2's including the Kind of Blue you mention and I find them to be uniformly excellent. Consistently amongst the best recorded cd's I have heard. HDCD or not they are well worth seeking out.

Which is the best media version of Blue that you have heard/

Now you're catching on. You could go broke with this hobby. For some it's more of a religion. I just myself compared some CDs same performance, different master. Which is better or worse? Hard to tell when switching over from one to another. Musical memory is short and vague. Many times the most expensive remaster is just that, expensive. And not much of an improvement.

Dtc is correct. I have 2 of those CDs that I also bought from Music Direct and neither of those light up my HDCD light. They are still good quality CDs so I'm not going to bad mouth them. If your looking for HDCD's try Reference Recordings dot com. I bought several from them and they are truely great sounding CDs. Plenty of used HDCDs on eBay as well. You can find a partial list of HDCDs here at Goodwinshighend dot com. There are many more of them on the market than listed. And I have also come across several of my discs that are HDCD encoded but nothing was mentioned on the CD or sleeve. Always a pleasant surprise.
