I have the Manassas and Stephen Stills (solo first) CD sets as HDCDs and both sound superb, as does the CS&N album.

Likes:
Mike Oldfield: Tubular Bells, Exposed.
B25s: Time Capsule
Yes: Magnification

Dislikes:
All the other Yes albums put out on HDCD - too pumped up, particularly in the lower registers.

There are more that I have no strong preference for and probably many more still that I have forgotten. The advent of 24/48 and above took me off to new horizons and 24/96 and 24/192 versions have replaced many of my HDCDs. I have hung onto some limited edition rarities which will hopefully in time be worth something to collectors but don't win any top sound quality awards.
