Anyone tried the K2HD mastering CDs?


At $35 to $50 each, they are quite expensive. Are they worth the price?

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.

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
Agree with Rwwear - the K2 HD discs sound amazing. Even if SACD is potentially a better technology, the quality of the FIM recordings make them sound better than most SACDs. If you only have a Redbook player, this the best sound you will find. The downside is that most of the music is pretty obscure - mostly good demo stuff. Try 'The K2HD Sound!' sampler - tracks 1,2 and 16 are the best demo material you will ever find (if your system is up to it).
