We are writing to share an important update regarding our physical catalog.
As many of you in the audiophile community know, the specialized manufacturing materials required to produce archival-grade Gold Compact Discs have officially been discontinued by all suppliers. Because of this, we will no longer be able to offer Gold CDs once our current inventory is gone.
What this means for your collection:
Final Quantities of Gold CDs: Once our remaining stock of Gold CDs for each title is depleted, the Gold Compact Disc will be retired.
Regular CDs Continue (Highest Quality): Our regular CD option will still be fully available, and we will continue producing them using the highest quality CD manufacturing standards possible.
Digital Downloads: Our high-resolution digital download options will also remain fully accessible.
If you are a collector who prefers the unique archival longevity and presentation of our Gold CD editions, we encourage you to pick up any remaining titles you've had your eye on before they disappear for good.
Thank you so much for your incredible loyalty, passion, and support in keeping high-fidelity physical music alive with us over the last 20 years.
Best regards,
High Definition Tape Transfers
The Digital Catalog Remains Intact
Every title associated with the Gold CD program continues to be available in our full range of high-resolution digital formats. Native DSD256, Pure DSD, PCM 24/96 and 24/192, and Multi-Channel Surround editions will remain in the catalog for the long term, meticulously transferred from the source tapes and delivered with the same care that defines HDTT's work.
Through the HDTT All-In-One structure, purchasing the highest available format for a given title grants access to the other formats marked with that logo, so a library assembled today remains a library that carries forward with you.
A closing note from our archive.
Over more than two decades, HDTT has been shaped by listeners who care deeply about legendary performances and the sonic detail that carries them across generations. Your stewardship of these recordings, in whichever format you choose, is what allows this catalog to remain a living archive rather than a museum.
With gratitude,
The HDTT Team
