JVC XRCDs -- your experience?

Recently picked up my first JVC XRCD title, Sara K's "Hell or High Water." The sound is stunning, though I must say that I have found her regular redbook CD recordings (on Chesky) to also be very good. So, my question is, what do other Audiogoners think of the XRCD format? Also, any recommendations for other great recordings in that format (especially in acoustic-based jazz and female vocalist recordings)?

Thanks and Happy Listening!

Dawgfish,
I hope you are aware that JVC engineers really go through a very systematic and careful way to engineer these CDs. I have read elsewhere that 99% of the CDs on the market are not mastered so carefully and hence do not sound as good. XRCD is not a different format. It is the way the CD is mastered. And JVC does a great job at that. I am not surprised that you like your XRCD. Enjoy your music.
