Good for Audiophiles

"JVC's "XRCD" process is not a signal-altering process such as HDCD, but rather a careful mastering system using carefully chosen equipment and a high level of quality control. Whatever the particular details of the XRCD process, there is no denying the quality of the end product. The XRCD releases I have heard have been characterized by a very clean sound, and Audiophile certainly qualifies as an audiophile recording. This CD brings together tracks from two of the late Victor Feldman's early `80s recordings, Secret of the Andes and Soft Shoulder. Actually, the music on Audiophile is perfect for audiophile listening sessions--enough percussion to make things interesting, just musically interesting enough to keep boredom from immediately setting in, but not musically interesting enough to lull audiophiles into listening to the music rather than the equipment. What more could an audiophile want?"
