  SHM Universal Japan SACDs
I have noticed the emerging catalogue of remastered SACD recordings from Universal of Japan on the Esoteric Discs web site. These discuss are quite expensive and I was wondering if any Forum member could advise me on how these discs compare with some of the other remastered recordings available from Esoteric, JVC XRCD, Analogue Productions, Mobile Fidelity etc. I mainly prefer classical and jazz recordings. Any recommendations or advice is gratefully received.

08-28-11: Achilles
I listened to the Who's Next SHM-SACD today. I wish I could say I was impressed, but I'd swear my CD version sounds better. It's too bad; I had high hopes for the SACD. I compared it with the CD on two different players and even with the Classic Records LP. There was no clear winner in terms of sound quality alone. The CD might have been the most enjoyable. Considering price and convenience then, the CD is the best bet.
Perhaps it's the source material.
Hopefully Yellow Brick Road will be better (it was backordered at musicdirect). If not, I'm through with SACD.
