XLO Reference Recordings HDCD enquiry

[max007007 0]

May I know currently which shop is selling this burn-in hdcd?

I have posted a WTB thread in hardwarezone and someone replied that he has a condition 10/10 one to let go at $70.

Is that a good price?

You referring to this?

 

 

$70 is kinda ridiculous. I bought mine many years ago, can't remember the exact price

already.

Just came back from New Disc Village, informed by the sale gentleman there that XLO closed down & no longer available.

Bought another STS Digital burn-in cd from there at 34.90 instead.

The following are quoted from the cd instruction cd cover.

 

"On this CD you will find more than 70 mins of souns of great variety of instruments ranging from lowest organ to highest piccolo. I've recorded all sorts of instruments that have a great influence on the production of sound thru loudspeakers, cables, cdplayers and amps. I dont like the use of static freq like 22hz, 100hz, 1500 hz and so on. With the sound from nartual instruments we feed your sysytems with the whole freq spectrum and impules at the same time."

 

Track 1: Low/high organ

Track 2: Percussian high

Track 3: Percussian low

Track 4: Percussian very high

Track 5: Piano low/high

Track 6: Percussian very fast from small instruments

Track 7: Flute picollo, bassax, tenorsax and double bass

Track 8: Sound library STS Television Production (part of STS Digital)

Unlike the XLO disc, is it true the STS digital burn-in disc does not have tracks for fine-tuning speakers positioning, room acoustics adjustment, phase and balance identifications, degaussing of system and stylus?

Dunnoe if the link will work but this is a cd we use in car audio competition. It has tracks that test tonality of the system and also sound staging and imaging. Also has static noise which has all frequency 20hz-20khz.
