Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. Another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied to the softer photopolymer for scratch protection. The combination results in significantly reduced reflection of laser light inside the CD and an unmatched, precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with standard CD players. Musically, the result is a sound image strongly reminiscent of analogue master tapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUHQCD Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e· From Original Master Tape\u003cbr\u003e· Superior Crystal Sound\u003cbr\u003e· Numbered Limited Edition\u003cbr\u003e· Ultimate High-Quality CD\u003cbr\u003e· XRCD-Like Luxury Digipak\u003cbr\u003e· Playable On Conventional CD players\u003cbr\u003e· Produced in Italy (Import)\u003cbr\u003e· Made in Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUHQCDs are manufactured by the largest CD factory in Japan by Memory Tech Corporation.

However, AudioNautes has long since become synonymous not only with first-class amplifiers, turntables and loudspeakers with insider tip status, but also, with its subsidiary AudioNautes Recordings (ANR), with selected records of the highest quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction in Italy, Made in Japan. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioNautes Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57520670638458,"sku":"UHQCD-RCA LIVING STEREO COLLECTION","price":450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/6856\/0166\/files\/600x600_RCA_LIVING_STEREO_COLLECTION_UHQCD.png?v=1793821167","url":"https:\/\/www.thesoundoftape.com\/uk\/products\/rca-living-stereo-collection-uhqcd","provider":"The Sound of Tape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
