HDCD
Homepage - Find out about new HDCD releases. These guys are
great ! I requested a catalog, and they sent it to me, no questions
asked. One of my favorite writers, M. Colloms found HDCD to lack
pace. But my other fave writer, R. Harley, recommends it. I totally
agree with R. Harley in this case, as M. Colloms was evaluating HDCD
with EAD digital sources, known for their smoothness and lack of
pace ! If you haven't got HDCD yet, I recommend you wait until the
Super Audio CD with HDCD !

Choice - one of my favorite UK hifi magazines ... they've generously
archived their full reviews of components in their website ... good
magazine that I prefer over What HiFi?
