Anyone tried the K2HD mastering CDs?

Yes, I've tried them. No, they are not worth the premium. Listen to three and felt the 'master' did not know what he was doing. Needs the Steve Hoffman touch. Try a blu-ray audion disk and you will see what true mastering is all about.

I really enjoy the sampler and I have a couple of the classical releases. I think they are worth it (premium lables such as MFSL or SHM-CD or priced in the same league)
Try the sampler to get a good feel for it.Unlike SACD's the can be burned.

I own the K2HD sampler, and it is very good. However, I can't really judge the whole K2HD catalog, as I find SACD slighly superior, and less costly. It depends on how much you want to spend for high quality digital.

The ones I have are amazing.

yes,they are good but not as good as SACD.

The price in US is mindbogglingly expensive,I suspect you are paying a lot of tax ....next time you are in Japan,try to shop for them
